Most of the roadmap project ideas described above can be done in any of these libraries, so combine a project idea with a codebase and send in a proposal. | Most of the roadmap project ideas described above can be done in any of these libraries, so combine a project idea with a codebase and send in a proposal. | ||

There are many opportunities for integrating real-time features like user availability ("presence") and instant messaging into other GSoC projects. | There are many opportunities for integrating real-time features like user availability ("presence") and instant messaging into other GSoC projects.

or [http://code.google.com/soc/ruby/about.html Ruby] -- All of these languages deserve core support for XMPP in order to introduce more real-time features into a wide range of applications.
