Most of those priority projects can be done in [http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml clients], [http://www.jabber.org/software/servers.shtml servers], or [http://www.jabber.org/software/libraries.shtml libraries], so there is plenty of opportunity for fun SoC work. We prefer that you contribute to existing open-source codebases instead of starting a new codebase, since it will be easier to find a mentor, so look at the [http://www.jabber.org/software/ existing projects] to find a good fit. If you have questions about an existing codebase, ask the maintainers of that codebase or post to the [http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev main developer list]. | Most of those priority projects can be done in [http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml clients], [http://www.jabber.org/software/servers.shtml servers], or [http://www.jabber.org/software/libraries.shtml libraries], so there is plenty of opportunity for fun SoC work.

Jabber/XMPP technologies are based on a client-server architecture similar to email. Usually these clients are instant messaging clients, but Jabber/XMPP is not limited to IM (it's just XML routing, use your imagination).
