Interesting. How hard is it to find Erlang
programmers? Particularly one who knows enough to write a couple
ejabberd components?

As far as requirements for the server are concerned, what I'm mainly
concerned about is stability and scalability, as this application must
potentially support lots of simultaneous users. The actual number will
depend on the market, so we need to be able to start small and grow
arbitrarily large. I'm a bit worried about that requirement, to be honest.
You might want to take a look at ejabberd:

ejabberd is written in Erlang, as this unknown language might scare your
manager, I've here a list of useful Erlang-related links:

large ejabberd installation with less memory:
