Jabber/XMPP technologies are based on a client-server architecture similar to email (well, but better). Thus the main open-source projects are clients and servers. However there are also lots of code libraries you can contribute to as well. The following sections list some of the more popular projects. There are also complete lists of [http://www.jabber.org/software/clients.shtml clients], [http://www.jabber.org/software/servers.shtml servers], and [http://www.jabber.org/software/libraries.shtml libraries] | Jabber/XMPP technologies are based on a client-server architecture similar to email (well, but better).

Given the large number of existing projects, 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 use the project lists below to find a good fit. If you have questions about an existing codebase, ask the maintainers of that codebase, post to the [http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev main developer list], or join our developer chatroom at xmpp:jdev@conference.jabber.org (yes, we have multi-user chat, like IRC but over the Jabber network). | Given the large number of existing projects, there is plenty of opportunity for fun SoC work.
