Certifications are much better than a favoured client - Certifications
can be achieved by everyone - favouring only one project easily produces
arousal.
The formalized process could be something like a certification robot /
some server implementation / some client implementation which checks
various things.
The test cases must be formalized (altough they are already in the XMPP
specs).
Anyway, that's seriously a JSF project we should work on.

Some projects on sourceforge are not that good, they are just on the top
list. I.e. the D20 Dice Generator, which had incredible tens of
thousands page impressions per day and a couple of thousand downloads
per day. The stats on SF are easy to cheat - just start a hit generator
and you get up on the list.
