Yes and no. Sockjs mailing list (in CC)  may have more targeted audience:
   http://groups.google.com/group/sockjs

For a time being the source code is the only resource. I'm thinking about
writing some kind of test suite to verify implementations and make
sure that they properly implement all the quirks, but that's still
in planning stage.

I will continue trying new things in sockjs-node - it's just easier
to prototype in node. Hopefully, the server side shouldn't evolve much,
so there shouldn't be a painful to keep servers in sync with the client.

I would love to see ruby/python/jvm implementations...
