<div>Hello Severino! :)<br>

<div>I am glad you mentioned XMPP, and in fact I also see it and
<a href="https://kdetalk.net/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://kdetalk.net/</a>
as an alternative.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am participating in a project that aims to develop a
cross-platform XMPP client, Kaidan: <a target="_blank"

</div>
<div>It uses Kirigami as a UI toolkit and libgloox for the
backend.<br>
</div>
<div>It is still very basic, but we already have some users, so
there clearly is interest.<br>
</div>

<div>Best regards,<br>

<div>Hello everyone.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I was at FOSDEM this year, I was told about KDE
moving away from IRC and looking for something else.<br>
</div>
<div>I'm not involved in KDE as an active contributor or
developer, but I'm a happy KDE software user, so this
felt really close to me.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After trying to follow the discussions on the mailing
list, I was hugely surprised that XMPP was not being
mentioned.<br>
</div>
<div>That encouraged me to send this email.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't know if someone else already asked for the
same thing. I apologise if that's the case.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have created this table: <a
href="https://github.com/SeveFP/KDE_IM_Requirements/wiki/XMPP-Table"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/SeveFP/KDE_IM_Requirements/wiki/XMPP-Table</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>based on the one at <a
href="https://community.kde.org/IM_Survey_Results"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://community.kde.org/IM_Survey_Results</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was not sure if I was allowed to modify the current
table at <a href="https://community.kde.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://community.kde.org</a>,
that's why I started creating one by myself first, to
let you check it.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It has been a long time, trying to check all emails
and blog posts. If there's any requirement empty it's
probably because I didn't understand what it means.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me point out that XMPP is a safe bet for years to
come, as it's a widely deployed living standard.<br>
</div>
<div>Being this such an important move, I would like you
to think about XMPP as an option.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, KDE has been doing awesome work with KTP
and I would love to see more work in this direction with
XMPP.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, a mention to <a href="https://kdetalk.net/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://kdetalk.net/</a> is
well deserved.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The XMPP community is really great, welcoming and
active. Don't hesitate to approach it, you won't be
disappointed!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
