So, after working with ejabberd a bit, I like it, but since it's in erlang I'm going to have to pickup a little about this language as well. I've started some of the tutorials and the language basic framework is a lot like Lisp, but there are definitly some subtlties that are going to take some getting used to. I think erlang will provide a good basis for a service but anything that has to crunch on the data WITHIN an XMPP message will probably be handeled much easier with another language. I'll have to see how to integrate some other languages intot he framework of ejabberd.
