Open Source Real-Time Collaboration Server: OpenFire
Openfire is an open source real time collaboration (RTC) server that enables anyone to create communication environments like MSN Messenger, GTalk, etc.
With an easy to setup-administer yet rock-solid security-performance system, OpenFire uses the most popular instant messaging protocol: XMPP (Jabber).
The application can run on both Windows & Linux/Unix servers and it comes with various plugins like "content filtering", "user export/import" & more.
OpenFire provides all the tools to keep the communication under control & helps you concentrate on the tools "users/members" can use. And, Igniterealtime (the same community) has solutions for that too like SparkWeb (open source web-based IM client) or Spark (open source IM client).

One Response for "Open Source Real-Time Collaboration Server: OpenFire"
OpenFire is a great turn key solution for a XMPP / Jabber server. However, I’d caution anyone from adopting it until the community is jump started again. Jive Software recently stopped supporting it commercially, but has yet to allow the open-source commnity arround it to take over maintenance. As a result several critical bugs have gone unfixed for 6-8 months now. Some fixes for this exist as patches, but releases are still controlled by Jive.
