It's a very open and well-designed instant-messaging system; it's mainly
used just as ICQ or AIM is, but seems to have potential to be a lot
more.  The protocol is XML-based, which means that good XML tools provide
a decently high-level interface to jabber servers to begin with, but a
solid Ruby library for Jabber would certainly be a Good Thing.
