Prosody XMPP Server
Earlier we showed how simple it was to install the latest version of Tigase XMPP Server and while it is a very capable and mature server, some folks just are not into the Java thing. With that in mind we wanted to point out the other options for open source servers and give links to their already excellent documentation on installation and configuration.
Prosody
According to the Prosody FAQ it is written in the Lua language and that:
Prosody aims to be simple. Really simple. Whether you are setting up your first Jabber server, or whether you are looking to write server-side code that speaks the Jabber/XMPP protocol, we want to make it easy for you.
Installation and configuration are well covered in their docs.
