Well, my first goal was to make sure the existing stuff works correctly.
An example is having a good stringprep implementation for JIDs.  This is
mostly done now.

The currently available code is usable to base any application on, but
everything deals in domish Element objects. There are no higher level
abstractions, yet, but some developers like it that way.

There is no real plan on how to proceed, also because I have no idea of
what is desired. So, any suggestions are welcome. Also, I am a bit
curious about what the Jabber support in Twisted is currently used for.
My current development efforts revolve around Idavoll (a generic publish
subscribe component following JEP-0060) and Mimír (a Jabber enabled news
service).
