As a suggestion, it can easily be made into a more community thing if
we used Openfire. It's got a nice web-UI and pgsql-www people could
be made into admins who can log into said UI and more easily manage
it. It's also got a nice built in web based jabber client (Spark)
which could be handy. It also (optionally) uses PgSQL as a backend
for buddy list storage and the like.
