Yeah, I noticed that Net::Jabber seems like abandon ware.
I was looking and there seems to be a few more Jabber modules on CPAN that are more up to date:

Jabber::Lite - 13 Feb 2007 - one star
Jabber::SimpleSend - 18 Aug 2006
POE::Component::Jabber - 20 Aug 2007

I think there is a process you have to go through before you can take over maintainership of a module, but I'm not sure what that is.

Robert,

I emailed the author for Net::Jabber 2 months ago with no response. Do you think we'd be taking on too much to get him declared dead and hijack the
module? If we did so, this would definitely simplify life for testing
strategy.

        For the rest of the questions I need to look at the code more.
        


                3. Make test is a mess. Almost all of the tests require a
jabber server to
                be present. This is making the modules tests to look very
red on the
                automated CPAN testers site. Robert and Wade told me I
should be programming
                to the interface. This sounds like a grand plan but I have
no idea what it
                means :)

        I was looking through the tests for Net::Jabber and Net::XMPP both
use the authors live jabber server.
        I'm not sure thats the greatest idea.
        I think we need to make a MockObject to replace  XML::Stream. That
may make testing easier.
        >From looking at the code I thing we would do this for
Net::Jabber::Server. But I could be wrong.


                1. I need an SVN location if we're going to do group
collaboration. Anyone
                have ideas?


         There's alway Google project hosting:
