Bug#619347: Jappix - clarification
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi Daniel,

The source and binary packages are available now on the Debian Mentors
page [0]. Even if they are not yet in the Debian archives, I try to
keep those packages up to date.

I run a test instance on https://jabber.deuxpi.ca/ that runs over
Prosody. It seems to work well enough for me. In the past, that same
server was running ejabberd and I remember it had major limitations.

You are right. Jappix does not provide any server-side capabilities.
The JavaScript client is JSJac, which is also used by JWChat. If you
are looking for a simpler web client, you could look at that program
instead.

This is a question that should be asked to the Jappix developer
themselves. I know they have a "mini" mode already so that the Jappix
code can be embedded into larger web apps.
