Does a Jabber server written in Ruby exist already or in development, besides xmppd? Is anybody planning to write one? ---

Why do you need one? Are there problems with the existing ones? jabberd and ejabberd are the better ones, AFAIK. jabberd disappointed me, too many bugs. I couldn’t try ejabberd because it requires Erlang. I may give it a try now and see. ---

Are there problems with the existing ones? That’s very interesting. jabberd is used by a great many people. Did you really find serious instabilities in it? Was this a production or a testing environment? ---

Take a look: [http://j2.openaether.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query\_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug\_status=\_\_all\_\_&product=&content=](http://j2.openaether.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status= __all__ &product=&content=) If you want to talk about it, let’s take it off the list.
