[soc2008-general] Python Jabber Server

[Michael Tao]

Hi,
I'm starting to look through the code listed on the python wiki  
( looking through twisted ).
I'm still looking at how people are writing their code, i'll hopefully  
have a concrete view of exactly how I would want to code this later  
on.  I've also talked with Dmitri (the current developer) about some  
of his ideas on how to implement this / the different ways he was  
aware of for doing this.  I need to look over everything in more  
detail of course ( actual examples of these implementations ) before  
i'd feel comfortable with saying what ideas i'd like to use or not use.
