Hi! I appreciate that you decided to join me. First thing you need to do is get yourself familliar with XMPP protocol. Look at www.xmpp.org, and, of course, facebook chat api documentation. Also you should look at the Strophe (http://code.stanziq.com/strophe/)It's a pure JS library for writing XMPP clients. It's really powerful and user-friendly, but i'm not sure if Drupal allows to commit third-party libraries to CVS.

That's all for now. Contact me when you'll be ready and if you have any questions

Of course it's not a good

Of course it's not a good practice to include external libraries in your modules. You can write down in your readme files a step-by-step guide for users on how to install them.

Hi Alex, Even i am interested

Hi Alex,
Even i am interested in writing an xmpp client which integrates with drupal. I know its been a while since you posted this, but thought we could collaborate, or if you guys have made significant progress, may be you could point me to some starters.
my experience:
drupal - 1/5
xmpp / strophe - 3/5
thanks,
