I now have the component up (temporarily) at: http://hypothetic.org/list.py
It makes use of the jabber.py python module, and it can be downloaded at http://jabberpy.sourceforge.net/ and requires Python 2.0 or later. I don't have any instructions up yet, but it is pretty self-explanitory. Just edit the variables at the top to match your server, and add an entry in your jabber.xml for a component with the appropriate port, subdomain, and secret. The component works by allowing users to subscribe and unsubsribe to group@host, where group can by anything, and host is the hostname of the component. When a message is sent to a group from a member of the group, the message is then sent to every user subscribed to the group. Groups are created by just subscribing to a group with no members; there is currently no control over groups.
