Gajim 0.11.1
Gajim is a full featured and easy to use Jabber client. You are new to the Jabber world and you want to get an account on a Jabber server? It's easy! You first have to choose a Jabber server that offers you the services you need. One of Jabber's features is that servers provide methods to communicate with contacts on 'legacy' messaging systems, such as ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo, ... It's not necessary to have every transport you'll require, because you can use transports on a server different to that which you're connected to. With that in mind, you should concentrate on finding a server that's fast, and close to you in location (the two usually go together) or perhaps one that has a good sounding name. There is a good list of servers on the jabber.org website. Another advantage of the Jabber protocol is that you can be connected more than once with an account, with differents resources and priorities. For example, you can be connected at home with resource "At Home" and priority 5, and when you are at work you can be connected with resource "At Work" and priority 7 to get your messages at work. Here are some key features of "Gajim": · Tabbed chat window · Group chat support (with MUC protocol) · Emoticons, Avatars, File transfer, Room Bookmarks · Metacontacts Support · Trayicon, Speller, extented chat history functionalities · TLS and GPG support (with SSL legacy support) · Transport Registration support · Service Discovery including Nodes · Wikipedia, dictionary and search engine lookup · Multiple accounts support · DBus Capabilities.
