I would like to build Instant Messaging service for my company. I have got familiar with XMPP from this book. Now I would like to play with some open source existing XMPP servers and build Instant Messaging service. Can you recommend any open source XMPP web servers.
P.S: I am new to XMPP and Instant Messaging, so any recommendation regarding XMPP and IM will be helpful.
Thanks
A good list of XMPP servers can be found from this link: http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/servers/
But few of the main players are jabberd, ejabberd, openfire, Tigase etc.
Recommend openfire as XMPP server and install candy-chat as web interface.
it give freedom to the end-user to choose any xmpp client like pidgin or just directly using web interface.
Candy also provides lots of plugins to extend.
If you familiar with java I suggest you this two.
openfire - Written in java. Easy to use and write new plugins. Good documentation and lot of available plugins. Has good admin panel
Tigase - Written in java. Very good performances, Mobile optimizations, easy to write plugins.
Both are easy to install and setup. If you have to quick test how it works I suggest you to install openfire and play around with it.
I will strongly recommend the one given to Openfire (OF) easy configuration via the web. The Openfire has the advantage that is extensible with plugins, making it modular.
As Disadvantaged Openfire consume enough RAM.
Here I leave a link where I explain how to install gnu/linux (not in English, is in Spanish)

I want to use Hacker News' open source software to build a link sharing community for another industry. I followed the instructions on the arc github page and was able to get a clone up and running on my local environment. I was wondering what the next steps were.
What kind of hosting is required for this kind of a site (since arc is a bit esoteric)? If we assume that I have substantial traffic, is it best to go the cloud hosting route? I noticed Hacker News itself is hosted with ThePlanet, should I do the same?
For any kind of lisp hosting, you're pretty much on your own. It depends on how serious you are about doing this, and how big the starting community will be. If it's a work thing, talk to your network guy about getting a server provisioned. If it's a personal project, you should really consider a VPS server; something like Linode or Slicehost. Note that these aren't specifically Lisp hosts; they give you a bare metal Linux server and let you do what you want with it (including hosting Lisp apps).

Besides impressing benchmarks,
does anyone really uses G-WAN web server?
(except of cource gwan.ch and trustleap.com)
G-WAN is a freeware, that means that people are not under the obligation of paying a license to use it for commercial purposes.
Having participated to write some of their code, I am aware of Web sites using G-WAN for different applications platforms:
auctions
advertising
yellow pages
social network
geographic maps
multimedia streaming
trading.
But this is merely my personal experience. I must say that G-WAN has allowed me to do things that could not be done with other servers like:
using cheap virtual servers where I would have had to use dedicated servers
using the same Web server to create applications in different languages
creating applications which rely on different programming languages
test code modifications without having to redeploy packages or modify configurations
-etc.
G-WAN, at least for me, has been a game-changer.
I do not understand the comment of "Virtualeyes" since my customers did not pay a dime to the G-WAN author. I just paid him 149 CHF, not because I was obliged to do it but rather because I wanted to thank him for the hard work.
By the way, that's Linus Torvalds, not "Linus Torvolds".

I find tokbox is a great service for video chat. But is there any other similar service for text-based chat, that provides api, so that i can manage my own users and chat participants.
Thanks
In another SO question somebody recommended http://www.phpfreechat.net/ but I've no experience of using the service.
As ever Google is your friend and once you know of a service such as PHP Free Chat you can do a related search and get some other options.
You could also build a chat solution using Pusher, who I work for. We offer a number of publisher libraries and client libraries in different technologies including JavaScript. We offer presence functionality that makes building chat forums really easy which is why it's one of the big use of Pusher.
Edit
There is also CometChat which may be worth looking at.

I want to find free and light Web Server for WinCE.
The best of variants is I really want to find light and free ASP.NET web Server.
Or maybe if I can use Web Frameworks for Python or Ruby (maybe Ruby on Rails) or maybe I even can run something alike haskell web server (but I don't really believe it).
I don't like PHP (maybe religious reasons) but if that is the only variant of hosted web application on WinCE I would like to know if there any web server for it.
Thank you.
Padarn is a light ASP.NET web server for WinCE, but it is not free.
You could also try cross-compiling Apache with CeGCC for example, since cygwin and mingw do not support WinCE.
Another non-free option could be Pocket HPH (compact PHP processing engine designed to run on handheld devices), although it looks old and abandoned.

Does anyone know of a free build server service to coincide with scm/forum/issue tracking services such as sourceforge/googlecode?
Obviously hudson/jenkins service would be my first preference related to primarily java/maven2, but anything would be nice!
Thanks!
Cloudbees has an offering for FOSS projects.
Another one (especially for public Github repos): http://travis-ci.org/
Researching the same thing currently, I stumbled over jenkinshosting.com (reported as suspicious site, Aug2012)- Jenkins build server, free for FOSS. Haven't tried it yet, though.
Atlassian offers licensed and on-demand products to open-source projects. Bamboo may be included.
https://www.atlassian.com/software/views/open-source-license-request
A TeamCity based server farm is available for open source projects through http://teamcity.codebetter.com/. Read the announcement.
Another option for OSS is http://www.appveyor.com/, which is including support for Windows 8.1 store apps.
Jenkinshosting.com use to offer free open source hosting. It's worth checking out to see if it's still continued.
