Do we have an ejabberd server test setup? If not, we should as its the most compliant and stable. I've contributed to this project in the past and have experience with it...
I talked to aaron about this before, I really think we need a tested compliant server set up for testing, already having problems with gristle.
wildfire or latest svn of ejabberd are the best candidates, but ill do more testing on both to make sure, the 2 issues are the roster order, and that stanzas are processed in order, neither of which gristle do
How do we stand as far as a test jabber server for inkboard? I think for 0.46 it would be a good goal to get the whiteboard feature much more stable, and having a test server would probably be a big step towards that.
Would there be any major risks if we ran wildfire or ejabberd (or both) off of inkscape.org? Do they consume excessive bandwidth or trigger any stability problems in the kernel or apache? I think we could easily give inkboard developers accounts and sudo access on inkscape.org for restarting the jabber server(s).
Also, on the topic of status - what plans are afoot for future development work? Are there tasks that others could assist with?

I would definitely recommend Wildfire. It is very mature and robust, and seems to be up-to-date on standards. It also has web-based admin, which makes maintenance a lot easier. You need to install Java on the machine, but Java 6 is very sweet and much lighter on resources than its predecessors. Besides that, there are no dependencies. I run it on my desktop when I need to test Pedro, and it doesn't seem to burden the machine at all.
