Shortly after finishing the <a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596157197/">XMPP book</a>, I started working on Swift, a pragmatic, cross-platform, user-friendly IM client. Together with <a href="http://kismith.co.uk">Kevin Smith</a>, we are building this project from the ground up, driving its development using agile methodologies. Underneath the IM client, we are working on an extensible and robust XMPP library, written in C++. Until we launch the project and its <a href="http://swift.im">website</a>, you can subscribe to the Swift <a href="http://blog.swift.im">blog</a> and <a href="http://identi.ca/group/swift">identi.ca group</a> to stay up to date with the latest news and developments around the project. Thanks to <a href="http://dave.cridland.net">Dave Cridland</a> for lending us his graphical capabilities and drawing us a pretty logo.
