CJC is a Jabber/XMPP client for text terminals. It uses pyxmpp library for XMPP comunication and curses for screen output. It is not finished yet, but still quite usable. Its user interface is resembling those of popular IRC clients like irssi or BitchX.

Requirements:

  1. Python interpreter

    Current PyXMPP and CJC require Python 2.6.

  2. PyXMPP - http://pyxmpp.jajcus.net/

    CJC 1.1.0 requires PyXMPP 1.1.0 or newer.

    If you are using current CJC version from github master branch then probably the best choice is to use latest PyXMPP from github too. For official releases the latest PyXMPP release before that CJC release should work well (but newer release may work better).

    PyXMPP should be installed in system in default Python module search path, but it doesn't have to be installed (just compiled) if you want to run CJC from the source tree (using cjc.py script). PyXMPP compiled sources should be placed in same directory where cjc source tree is (both CJC and PyXMPP tarballs unpacked or both git trees checked out in the same directory).

Installation:

You may run CJC right from the source tree, but to install it into the system use:

make install

Usage:

See the attached manual (doc/manual.html). Some day it may be complete :-)

Bug reports and feature requests:

The best place to send those is the github issues list:

But you can write to me directly via e-mail: jajcus@jajcus.net or jabber: jajcus@jajcus.net

There is also a mailing list for CJC: cjc@lists.jajcus.net. To subscribe -- send an empty message to cjc-subscribe@lists.jajcus.net or visit the listinfo page at http://lists.jajcus.net/mailman/listinfo/cjc

But if you don't describe your problem or wish on the project trac I may forget about it.
