I think it would be good to clarify the overall objective. Lots of folks
are interested in building a full reference implementation of the XMPP
RFCs and various JEPs (probably those which have reached Draft in the
JSF's standards process) in Python, but that seems like a major server
effort rather than something which would necessarily go into Twisted.
But perhaps I'm wrong about that. ;-)
