I'm glad to hear that Wave is doing well. I thought about grabbing it and trying it just to see how it was doing and maybe contributing, but just never had the time. It makes me happy that it has a real chance of survival.
Andrew, give it a try - as I said, really easy to setup. I am thinking of installing it on one of my customers' LAN for their private use.
Yep, it's pretty great. We use it internally and it's pretty fantastic. Curious what XMPP platform you all went with, this was the most difficult part to implement for us and was a little tedious waiting for the CAs to accept the certificates and have it all propagate and everything. We're using Prosody which does have its quirks but maybe there's something better out there.

Can't speak to interoperation with WiaB, but I've always been very pleased with ejabberd. Surprisingly simple to set up and administer, pretty much hands off once it's up.
