Server RFP: Jabber.org XMPP Service
This document defines a request for proposals to provide the software that runs the jabber.org IM service, one of the central nodes on the XMPP network.
Our objectives in offering this service include the following:
1. Provide a stable, accessible service to the Internet community for instant messaging, groupchat, alerts and notifications, file transfer, voice and video chat, and other forms of real-time communication.
2. Gain operational experience with a live service to validate our work on XMPP technologies.
3. Deploy not only implementations of the core XMPP RFCs but also important extensions developed by the XSF.
4. Deploy our services in the most secure fashion possible to us.
5. Where possible, encourage the development and use of free or open-source software (FOSS) solutions.
