I wrote a little tool to produce a jabberd1 spool from a jabberd2 database. I haven't seen it show up at scriptrepo though. =/ I'll make it available on my own website at some point. Anyway, that would allow you to migrate any direction you want. Of course, as far as I know, it only works for mysql databases. It may work with postgres too. (i am referring to jabberd2's db structure)

As for mnesia, I originally thought I wouldn't like something that didn't use mysql or something similar, but I've found that there's absolutely nothing I dislike about Mnesia, and in fact it has at least one tool I'm aware of to interact with it directly.

"For more specific tasks, like showing statistics or getting a user password, that are server-dependant, you can extend XMPP and write a basic ejabberd module that exports the required information, for example."

Statistics are standardised by JEP-0039 (Statistics Gathering), though this feature isn't implemented in all servers.

--- A) How long time JWChat will keep this option about ejabberd?

JWChat is moving from WCS to httppoll/httpbind. If I understood it correctly, those two methods will be supported, the only one that is deprecated is the old WCS. Of course, if the server supports it, httpbind is preferable over httppoll. Since ejabberd httppoll implementation is only 331 lines of code (including comments), I guess that it'll not be that hard to implement httpbind on the future.

--- migrate jabberd1-jabberd2-ejabberd

Right now there are tools to migrate:

jabberd1 -> jabberd2
jabberd1 -> ejabberd

I'm not aware of any other migration tool. It'd be nice to have:

jabberd2 -> jabberd1
ejabberd -> jabberd1

So admins can move they users among those three servers. Email on the subject.

--- It's there a chance for ejabberd to work with MySQL & PHP in the future, on issues like

retrieving data from mysql and post on ejabber (create accounts,
rooms ie)?
extract u/p user data from mysql,
create ejabber user like using class.jabber.php (http://cjphp.netflint.net/) and, next,
retrieve data from ejabber Mnesia database by php to a site by reason of show some statistics

Do you really want to mess with a server database, instead of using the server as interface? Don't forget that even servers that use the same database backend can be incompatible at database level: look at jabberd1 sql backend and jabberd2 (are they compatible?). You should better use a standarized method if possible, so your application is the most server-independant possible, and more people will be interested in it. With XMPP you already can

create user (http://jrt.jabberstudio.org/ http://jrt.jabberes.org/)
remove user
change password
modify roster (add/remove contacts) (http://jru.jabberstudio.org/)
check presence of your contacts (JWChat)
create rooms, get participants (JWChat)

Instead of modifying the database directly, why don't use class.jabber.php or any other library and access the Jabber server at a more abstract level?

For more specific tasks, like showing statistics or getting a user password, that are server-dependant, you can extend XMPP and write a basic ejabberd module that exports the required information, for example. Maybe a lot of the ejabberd-dependant code is already written, or more people is interested in it and can collaborate if you release the code.
