First, I would like to apologize to everyone who put so much effort into qunu. Current Status: The server has been taken offline. There are no backups which are current, the latest is one month old. Why: The server that was just taken offline was to be a temporary home lasting one, maybe two months. [...]
I am going to be meeting with Mickaël Rémond at an adhoc ejabberd meeting. afaik, the location is undetermined, however, I am flying out in the morning and have decided that Gramstand is as good of a place as any for now. (primarily thanks to stumbling onto a coworking blog). Will probably move onto a [...]
I just had an interesting chat with hawke about presence and transports. It may seem pedantic, but I think it strikes at an important point. A lot of clients assume that a jid must have a node; miranda,iChat,gtalk come to mind. If that jid lacks a node then it must be a transport, e.g. behave [...]
No plan survives contact with the enemy. This was made abundantly clear when Qunu was released as alpha for the public to abuse. As with any alpha there were countless problems that I dealt with on a daily basis. Clients insisting that a jid must have a node, xdata limitations in iq:register, double subscriptions, broken [...]
After many long nights and lots of bug squashing we are finally ready to open up Qunu for general abuse. This is an invitation for everyone in the jabber community to try it out. Let us know what you think and how Qunu can be made better. So what is Qunu? <marketing-speak> In a nutshell, [...]
here is the second version of the patch. Fixes: The decline code now checks to see if it is indeed a muc packet via a namespace check. It also verifies that the decline is sent to someone, i.e. there is a to attribute value on the decline element It now determines the real jid of [...]
I just hacked this up. It works, kind of The patch is against 0.6 and not the latest cvs. Basically, the problem is that when an invitation is declined, it is sent to the room. but the sender is not in the room, so they get an error back. Of course this is incorrect behavior. [...]
For various arcane reasons I was inspired recently to browse the TOS (terms of service) for the big closed garden IM networks, AIM, MSN and YahooIM. Some parts are very interesting, some are simple legalese. Can I use 3rd party clients like Gaim, Miranda, etc for these networks? No You can only use the software [...]

I opened a bug at wikimedia to try and get default xmpp uri support. Its been closed as won’t fix and reopened. If you have anything to add to the conversation (preferably in support of it being added), please do so. The patch I submitted is up and running at wiki.jabber.org and works fine.
… or at least nothing new for those of us that have been drinking the jabber kool aid for years now. Johannes points out some areas that are under exploited by xmpp. pubsub pubsub-rss rest/soap urls Of course, most of what he lists is already defined as jeps, and there are a few impl’s out [...]
dictbot is dead! long live dictbot2! The dictionary bot I had setup on xmpp:dict@openaether.org became so popular it blew up. It accumulated 2,330 roster entries, it was constantly running out of karma. I killed it and started xmpp:dict2@openaether.org. Lets see how long it takes for ppl to kill this one
EDIT: warning!! links are not work safe quick! search on google for "jabbercentral.org", or just click It is most entertaining. At least we can now answer the question, "How will jabber get it's users laid?"

The debian distro is well known for being rather strict on what it accepts into its distribution. This has caused Jamin Collins to examine the licensing of jabberd 1.4.x. Turns out its quite a mess. The thread on jdev makes a good read.
Thanks to all the patches and contributions from the jabber community, jabberd2 has seen another release. Which means bug#14 is closed. With that we open bug#41 for all the new incoming patches As always, if you have ideas or a simple wishlist for jabberd2, add them to the wiki
The w3c announced the relaunch of URI Activity. Does this mean the now closed xmpp-wg should talk to them about xmpp-uri?
I would like to thank Chris Mullins for asking some questions about Pubsub. Some of which I have wondered about myself.
