Protocol Specification

Does this product support XMPP or SIP/SIMPLE (v 6.1)? If not, how can I extend the protocol for support of something that I would like to add?

Version 6.1 does not support XMPP or SIMPLE. The next major version, coming out this fall, does support XMPP.For server extension in v6.1, you use the Java API's provided.Starting with the next version, you can use either the Java API's or XMPP.Dan

Do you know when the next release is scheduled for and is there an early access of the server available?

That is EXCELLENT!!! I am fairly fluent in XMPP and think this is a much better way to go than SIP/SIMPLE because of it's flexability for extention.

In the same light, is there any articles, white papers, etc. on how to extend the exisitng protocols using the API for other mime types (i.e. Video, Graphics, File Attachments, etc.)? Does it all happen using a message converter and/or document converter? Is there any sample code?
