I'm not too familiar with XMPP, but wanted to kick off a discussion thread here so I don't forget about it :)

Research direction
Start by reading the linked discussion on Elixir Forum to understand the motivation for XMPP support. Then investigate existing Elixir XMPP libraries like ExMPP or xmpp4ex. Assess the effort to integrate XMPP into the existing Phoenix based chat backend, focusing on message routing and presence handling. Reach out to the maintainers for clarification on acceptance criteria.
