XFireGateway is a Jabber (http://www.jabber.org) gateway which allows interoperability
between jabber and xfire.This means that by using any of the standard compliant jabber clients you can communicate
with your xfire buddies.XFireGateway also implements the jabber extensions of GOIM
(http://goim.us) - this way if you are using GOIM game information is also transmitted
in both directions. ie. your friends will see when you are playing a game, and you will
see your xfire buddies playing and can join them with one click. (if you configured the
game correctly in GOIM .. and it is supported by GOIM).
Status
It should already work for most uses. But error handling is as good as non-existent. So
if login was not successful it won't tell you. If a message was not transmitted correctly
you won't know.. but other than that .. it should work quite fine .. altough it still
requires some testing. (if you are using it .. post a forum thread to let me know if it
works ;) )
Supported Features

TODOs
Group Chat
Won't happen (except YOU are motivated enough to implement it ;) )
I'm already running it at sphene.net - if you are using a jabber client launch your
service discovery window (or however it is called in your client) and point it to
sphene.net … there you will find "xfiretest.sphene.net" register with your xfire
username and password .. and you are ready to go...(You should not in any way rely on this gateway .. i may decide to close it, remove it,
reset it, or whatever.. that's why it is called 'xfiretest.sphene.net' :) )
