 functions are called with weechat.xxx(arg1, arg2, ...)
weechat.register(name, author, version, license, description, shutdown_function, charset) [3]
import weechat

Some channels require a nickserv registered nick before joining. Thus, changing to an unregistered nick can give a "Cannot change nickname while banned on channel" message.

Libraries / Services

  • Poetry is a collection of simple command line tools for working with XMPP services. It aims to provide a set of tools similar to tools like dig, curl, and man, but for interacting, configuring, and querying XMPP services.
  • Switchboard is both a toolkit for assembling XMPP clients as well as a set of command-line tools for interacting with XMPP servers. Ruby.
  • OneSocialWeb XMPP based social network. development has ended.

GUI clients

CLI clients

  • mcabber is a small Jabber console client that includes SASL/SSL/TLS support, MUC (Multi-User Chat) support, history logging, command completion, OpenPGP encryption, OTR (Off-the-Record Messaging) support, dynamic modules and external action triggers.

See BitlBee

MUC

Multi user chat, like IRC. Clients suck at implementing this.

BitlBee

  • BitlBee brings IM (instant messaging) to IRC clients. It's a great solution for people who have an IRC client running all the time and don't want to run an additional MSN/AIM/whatever client. BitlBee currently supports the following IM networks/protocols: XMPP/Jabber (including Google Talk), MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM and ICQ, and the Twitter microblogging network (plus all other Twitter API compatible services like identi.ca and status.net).

Bitmessage

  • Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.

Tox

Pond

  • Pond is forward secure, asynchronous messaging for the discerning. Pond messages are asynchronous, but are not a record; they expire automatically a week after they are received. Pond seeks to prevent leaking traffic information against everyone except a global passive attacker. [14]

TorChat

  • TorChat - Decentralized anonymous instant messenger on top of Tor Hidden Services

BitTorrent Chat

  • BitTorrent Chat - Private instant messaging via secure, distributed technology. No cloud required.

  • Secure Internet Live Conferencing, or SILC in short, is a modern conferencing protocol which provides rich conferencing features with high security. One of the main design principles of the protocol was security. Many of the SILC features are found in traditional chat protocols such as IRC but many of the SILC features can also be found in Instant Message (IM) style protocols.
  • deadchat is a cryptographically secure single-room group chat server and client designed to enable a group of trusted friends to communicate with each other over an insecure channel without fear of eavesdropping.
  • IronPigeon is a decentralized communication protocol that provides high confidentiality and authenticity for the messages.
  • TextSecure - a replacement for the standard text messaging application for Android, allowing you to send and receive text messages as normal. Additionally, Local Encryption -- All text messages, regardless of destination, that are sent or received with TextSecure are stored in an encrypted database on your phone. Wire Encryption -- When communicating with a recipient who is also using TextSecure, text messages are encrypted during transmission.
  • GoldBug is a secure Instant Messenger. You can be sure with using GoldBug (GB), that no third party can look testinto your chat communication. Private user-to-user communication remains private. GoldBug therefore uses strong multi-encryption with different layers of modern encryption technologies of well known and revised crypto libraries (like libgcrypt (GnuPG) and OpenSSL). The app offers as well decentral and encrypted Email and decentral public E*IRC-Chat.
