Jabber VB 6.0 Client

I need a VB 6.0-based Jabber IM client written with *full* jabber functionality for version 1.x of the Jabber server. You can read about the Jabber API at <[url removed, login to view]>.

Additional Notes:

1) I have partially written code that is 80% functional, but buggy. It may or may not be the right codebase to start from, but it'll be a help.

2) I already have a Jabber server w/ conferencing up and running... it will need to be maintained through the course of development, but it does not need to be set up.

3) Look & feel of the client should be as polished as MSN Messenger. You are to provide the artwork / design as needed for the client.

4) Conversation history should function exactly like MSN Messenger, down to the pixel.

5) Notifications of someone coming online, or new messages being delivered should 'slide' in above the clock, just like MSN Messenger, with a similar (but different) gradient

6) As I mentioned above, your bid should include support for all Jabber 1.x functionality -- but I want to especially mention SSL support, send-a-file, emoticons, fonts, availability status, invite others to the conversation. One thing we *don't* need to do is hook up to external IM networks such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL, etc -- this will be a private IM network.

7) The dialog to inviting others to the conversation, or to form a new conference should allow the person to check-mark individuals, or entire groups to dictate who gets invited

8) Since I want this developed ASAP, I'll place a premium for any coder that has experience with the Jabber API, and who will be able to focus 100% on this project until it's complete.

9) I expect any coder to be available to me via IM pretty much all the time, during the work-day (whenever that is)

10) Code should be fully commented, well indented, and comments should be in English.

11) Client should be written in VB6 and should especially NOT require .NET

12) Client should be stable and well tested. Bid should include any bug-fixed needed to original code / core-functionality.
