WARNING

The code I'm working on here is for prototyping ONLY

There are problems with authentication that are not solvable at this time, however there are standardization movements in place within the jabber community to provide the kinds of tools I would need to make this safe.

SO! please don't use this in your own service, but feel free to play with it and see what you think.

Description

Xmpp-psn is a simple web service running on Django (for now) that allows you to easily use jabber as your backend for your latest social networking projects.

By doing this you allow your users to easily traverse the web space of any other service that similarly supports jabber. On top of this, it allows for you to easily provide chat and presence support to your application with very little added code.

Installation

get an svn pull of the source

svn checkout http://xmpp-psn.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ xmpp-psn

drop the application into any existing Django project (or create a new one for it).

xmpp-psn doesn't use any models, so there are no database requirements, installation is drop in.

Dependencies

There are only three dependencies that I can think of

1. Django
2. xmpppy
3. dnspython
