I'm currently working on the backend, for now i writing a library libegpx, which means Enlightenment Generic Protocol XML something like that. The core is a configurable set of structures and functions to allow easily extension of a protocol. For now the input stream must be in xml format. My points of views and my wishes are to define with the egpx the xmpp-core and the xmpp-im rfc. And next we can without change anything inside xmpp-core structure or xmpp-im structure support all other JEPS defined with egpx. I would that the backend is enough extensible to test new JEPS and more precisely to support voice. I've made a poor core to understand how EFL work and now i rewriting a better code (i think). About the modularity of the backend, i'm agree with you that it should be modular. But one thing at a time :p About express, it seems interesting, in fact i'm really poor in frontend ... so it's a good occasion to gather ours efforts. I've not lots of time because i'm phd student but i'm very interesting to create an IM supporting the Jabber protocol. So if you're interested and motivated we should create a mailing list and why not a little website to do the roadmap.
