Description of the project
Poezio is in instant messenger client, for the Jabber (XMPP) protocol only.
Its main goal was to handle only MUC (MultiUserChat) conversations, and anonymous authentication. This way, it could be used just like a classic IRC client (no registration needed, just run the software and join the rooms you want). The point is to get a console client, with the geekness and the (relative) "anonymity" of IRC clients like irssi or weechat, for people used to these clients and repulsed by the too high number of graphical Jabber clients.
But, people asked for Roster support (to be able to connect with your account, and talk to your contacts, like a "classic" Jabber client), so, in future versions, roster (and "One to One" conversations) will be supported.
Poezio in next versions
0.7
This version will introduce the support of the roster and one to one conversations, go to python 3.x-only and change the library (SleekXMPP instead of xmpppy)0.7.5
This version will finish the MUC support (with room configuration, etc) and introduce the plugin system.So, the neat features will come (some as plugins):/link, /alias, /exec commands…
