Vines is an XMPP chat server that connects you with large clusters of machines as easily as chatting with a friend. It's a new, simpler way to manage your servers in the cloud or the data center.

Spectrum is an XMPP transport/gateway which supports a wide range of different networks such as ICQ, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk), AIM, MSN, Facebook, Twitter, Gadu-Gadu, Skype, IRC and SIMPLE. Spectrum is written in C++ and uses the Gloox XMPP library and libpurple for “legacy networks”.

Instant messaging, just like email or VoIP traffic, needs to be secure from eavesdroppers, man-in-the-middle attackers, and other security threats. Many IM clients can tunnel messages over transport layer security (TLS) to provide encryption, including XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber), IRC, and the OSCAR protocol used by AIM. TLS provides authentication and encryption at a low level, but a considerably secure solution for IM is a protocol called Off The Record (OTR).
