You have to ask a more specific question. Otherwise, google for 'instant
message server programming'. Since nobody has any idea what type of
information you're looking for (toolkits? protocols? platforms? programming
examples? specifications?) there's no way to give you an answer that would
fit that has much chance of actually telling you what you want to know.

There are lots of open-source clients available for you to browse. You
could see what API's they expect of their servers, and implement that
API in your own special way... I'm not sure about Open Source IM
servers, but the difficulty level of writing one will depend drastically
on the nature of the community it has to serve. If you're targeting an
individual Unix cluster, it's probably trivial. If you're looking to
replace AIM & ICQ, though...
