If you feel that Openfire is a good candidate for use with FreedomBox, 
please help get it packaged for Debian!

I personally have no experience with that particular daemon, and since 
it is written in Java (which I generally rule out as being too heavy 
burden) I have no special interest in trying it out now.

One benefit of OpenFire is that OneSocialWeb depends on it. OneSocialWeb 
seems to me to be the most mature of the decentral social networking 
systems in development at the moment - unfortunately (as mentioned 
above) it is written in Java. :-(

Personally I bet on BuddyCloud for decentral social networking (and am 
working on packaging the soon to be finalized version 0.0.1), as it is 
implemented as XMPP addons independent of core XMPP daemon, so more 
lightweight and more likely to inspire multiple competing 
implementations if it gains momentum.
