It is settled then, we will be a champion for OTR4J, which in the case
of diversity, is also good because it is built on BouncyCastle and not
OpenSSL.

There are currently a few variations between our work on OTR4J (which is
currently embedded in Gibberbot) and the standard OTR4J project, which
was recently moved from Google Code to Github. While they have
integrated our work on SMP, we haven't kept entirely in sync. In
addition, we have some additional code for use on Android, and soon for
storage of the keystore in SQLCipher/IOCipher.

This if the official project by the original author:
http://github.com/gpolitis/otr4j

however, this is the most active fork: https://github.com/redsolution/otr4j

We should figure out which project the Jitsi team is basing their work
on. There is also Xabber, the now (soon?) open-source Android XMPP
client that also supports OTR, though a brief audit of that app shows a
number of problems with their default configuration (SSL cert
verification off, all chats persisted, etc).
