Library allowing Ruby apps to talk to a Jabber IM system.
This library was created to allow a Ruby application to connect to (or create a) Jabber account as an additional resource. Although it was not the original intent to serve as the infrastructure of a complete UI-based IM client... it supports everything except the groupchat protocol. It currently supports: Account registration Connection to an account (digest and plain text) Access to Roster (buddy list) Tracking of presence of resources in the Roster (including local account resources) Sending and receiving messages Managing subscriptions XHTML messages Pluggable XML Parsers What can you do with this? You could write a ruby application that allows you to query it by IM for status, control, etc. You could use this as a communications channel backbone for a Ruby application (which is my intent).
