  Description     : a curses Tox based instant messenging client

Toxic is a Tox-based instant messenging client which formerly resided in
the Tox core repository, and is now available as a standalone
application.
.
Tox is a secure and distributed Skype replacement.
.
At its heart it’s a client dealing with our core library communicating
on our own protocol. All communications are encrypted using the peer
audited NaCl cypto library and this encryption can not be turned off.
.
Tox is powered by a distributed network which uses P2P connections for
chats between people, unlike other Skype replacements no federated
servers, centralized servers, or supernodes are used.



This is a way to replace Skype. It is decentralized, as opposed to
Jabber/XMPP, SIP, Jitsi etc.

If anyone wants to co-maintain they are very welcome. Is there a
communications team? I know of the OTR team, but that is only for OTR...
