Poezio is a console Jabber/XMPP client. Its goal is to use anonymous
connections to simply let the user join MultiUserChats. This way, the user
doesn't have to create a Jabber account, exactly like people are using
IRC. Poezio's commands are designed to be (if possible) like commonly
used IRC clients (weechat, irssi, etc).
Poezio is a console Jabber/XMPP client. The initial goal was to provide a
way of connecting easily to XMPP without the need for an account, exactly like
IRC clients. Poezio's commands are also designed to be close, if possible,
to the ones commonly used in IRC clients (weechat, irssi, etc).
Since version 0.7, poezio can handle real Jabber accounts along with
roster and one-to-one conversations, making it a full-featured console
Jabber client, but still MultiUserChats-centered.
In the future, poezio should implement at a 100% level all XEP related to
MUCs, especially XEP 0045.
For this reason, the experience is still centered around chatrooms, despite
poezio being a full-featured XMPP client for a very long while.
