This page is a proposal for a unified chat (instant messaging) environment.

Ticket: http://jira.bluelightav.org/browse/BLUE-1038

This is work in progress!!!

XMPP seem to be an acceptable choice:

  • free protocol
  • free accounts with jabber.org
  • vast choice of clients
  • inter-compatibility with gtalk and possibly other common services

Problems:

  • Google Hangout does not support XMPP

 

Proposition:

  • anyone should have either:
    • Google account (including the users in the auroville.in.org domain) without Google Hangout activated
    • a jabber.org account
  • client: any choice within (Adium, Chat.app, Pidgin, Android Gtalk, etc). See also http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/clients/

Jabber server

Few notes on the installation of a ejabberd server.

Note that there are many open and free jabber servers around, so we might not want to set up one.

Server setup in Debian

Below, the steps to configure on Rose:

apt-get install ejabberd
dpkg-reconfigure -plow ejabberd
