Per the discussion on the PIC call yesterday, I dove in and brought up
an XMPP server. I selected Wildfire [1] from the server list at
Jabber.org [2], which gives Wildfire a 98% feature score. Wildfire is
GPL'd and, since it is Java, it runs on just about anything.

I downloaded the RPM, installed it, walked through a few web config
screens, stuck XMPP SRV records in DNS and, just 20 minutes later, was
up and running. The web admin interface is slick and the DB and auth
options seem very good. I haven't yet looked at the quality of the
code.

Basic testing between two of my own accounts seems to work. If you
are interested in testing, please add me
(ben@internet2.edu)
as a
contact. I've also set up a group chat at
wg-pic@voice.internet2.edu,
which any willing parties can join and test.
