Hi,
I've already posted a while ago about the jabber - lfs transport and stuff (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=584) while it was still very experimental.

I've now released GOIM (Gamers Own Instant Messenger) (http://goim.us) 1.0.3 - an open source jabber client which can show on which game servers your contacts are currently playing - which has support for LFS and dozend of other games as well as an InGameMessenger (http://goim.us/wiki/show/InGameMessenger)which allows you to receive and send messages from inside (almost) any DirectX 8 game (like LFS ;) ).
And of course it also supports the LFS transport i've written (see my last post.. it still works the same way). see http://goim.us for more information.

Ah .. and.. there's also a XFire Gateway (http://xfirelib.sphene.net/wiki/show/XFireGateway) which allows you to chat with your xfire buddies, see them playing, joining them, and transmit your game connections to your xfire buddies: http://xfirelib.sphene.net/wiki/show/XFireGateway

Altough GOIM is (IMO) already quite useable, I'm searching for people (or preferable teams) who are willing to regularly use the IM and provide feedback. I could provide custom features for teams, like helping them setting up their own jabber server to have @my-team.com Jabber IDs, giving custom statistics, making custom status icons or racer lists like i've did for displaying LFS status: http://goim.us/wiki/show/LFS .. which is already in use by e.g. http://dprt.dk/ (scroll down to 'DPRT racers online') or http://www.dsk-racing.de/index.php?area=1&p=static&page=driveronline

P.S. Hope you don't mind this small advertisement... Since it's just an open source project without any revenue, i can't make contracts with leagues or game publishers so you have to download the IM to get to download game demos, videos or whatever ;)

Sounds alot like xfire only Xfire does not work with lfs.

if i remember correctly, xfire already works with LFS ? but anyway .. you should still give goim a try ;)
