Tkabber Description

A Free and Open Source client for the Jabber instant messaging system Tkabber provides a Tcl/Tk interface to the Jabber instant messaging and presence service.Tcl/Tk is a graphical scripting language that runs on the Unix, Windows, and Macintosh platforms. The choice of Tcl/Tk for a Jabber client is three-fold:* it is portable: once you install a Tcl/Tk interpreter on your system, the Tkabber script "just runs" - without having to compile anything;* it is customizable: Tkabber reads a configuration file when it starts that tells it the settings of various parameters; and,* it is extensible: the configuration file is actually a Tcl script, so you can replace or augment entire portions of Tkabber (if you're so inclined). Here are some key features of "Tkabber": Sessions: · hashed passwords · encrypted sessions (if you install an optional extension) · login via HTTP proxy · user-defined hooks for connection establishment and release · XMPP/Jabber MIME type Messages: · emoticons · signed/encrypted messages (if you install an optional extension) · file transfers (HTTP, DTCP and IBB transports) · filters · groupchat (GroupChat-1.0 and Multi-User Chat conferencing protocols) · headline messages · message events · completions of nick and commands · hyperlinks · user-defined hooks for chat window events Presence: · avatars · browsing · groupchat and roster invitations · conference room bookmarks · annotations about roster items · signed presence (if you install an optional extension) · vCards · user-defined hooks for presence changes Windowing: · configurable look-and-feel via a resources database · unicode · tabbed/non-tabbed interface · sound notifications · nested roster groups · for Unix: auto-away, spell checking, KDE docking, and WMaker icons · for Windows: auto-away, and taskbar icons Requirements: · Tcl/Tk · tcllib · BWidget
