Need help from the LazyWeb on the issue of Google & trusted Jabber servers for one of the Big In Japan tools we’re working on — InstantRSS (you’ll be able to get RSS delivery to your chat client, a la the IndeedJobs gtalk functionality).  Can someone out there help us with getting our jabber server on the trusted list at Google?  Alex writes:

Our Big in Japan team has a jabber server for our instantRSS project.  Google does not support server-to-server communication to ‘avoid spam’ and mandates an authentication scheme which Jabber Ruby libraries are not capable of supporting. 

One solution we are considering is a ‘hack’ of existing Jabber libraries to gain SASL/TSL support.  Someone suggested that Google was going to add experimental support for ‘federating’ trusted jabber servers.  Do you know someone at Google who could put jabber.biggu.com on the ‘trusted’ list?  Any help would be appreciated.  Ideas would also be appreciated.
