Gajim

: Gajim should not be confused with Gaim, another instant messaging client.

Gajim is a libre software instant messaging client for the Jabber (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) protocol which uses the GIMP Toolkit toolkit. It runs on GNU/Linux, BSD and Microsoft Windows.

=Mission=

The goal of the Gajim project is to provide a full-featured and easy to use XMPP client for GTK users. Gajim does not require GNOME to run, though it works nicely under a GNOME environment.

Other services available using gateway servers, include RSS (file format) and Atom (standard) news feeds, sending Short message service messages to cellular networks and weather reports.
