This week was a big milestone for me, because I made the first release of the XMPP library that will eventually turn into a Drupal module. For now, the library contains just the client component which can connect to XMPP servers and send instant messages to other users. There is still a bit more work to be done (particularly on the Publish-Subscribe extension, which is currently non-existent), but I think this is a good first step.
Anyone who is interested in testing out the client can grab a copy from my dev site. Understand that at this point, the examples that are included were meant to be run from the command line. There is no web interface or anything else like that.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on the work that's been done thus far.
