Indeed, there was a student interested, but other proposals were
accepted instead. The same student has been working towards an XMPP
destination however, outside of GSoC, albeit fairly slowly.

While it would likely be possible to cooperate on the XMPP destiantion,
I believe it would not only be easier, but better for other reasons too,
to find something else interesting. I'm happy to share a whole lot of
ideas, if you're interested.

As for third party libraries: as long as their license is compatible
with the license syslog-ng uses (GPL-2+/LGPL-2+ mix), they should be
fine.

Apologies for the late answer, and for not making it clear that XMPP is
being worked on, I hope we can find something else interesting for you!
