+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. It doesn't handle contact list at all.
-Poezio's commands are designed to be (if possible) like IRC
+IRC. Poezio's commands are designed to be (if possible) like IRC
clients (weechat, irssi, etc).
+Since version 0.7, poezio can handle real Jabber accounts along with
+roster and one to one conversation, making it a full-featured console
+Jabber client, but still MultiUserChats-centered.
=======================
Install
=======================
-You need python (with argparse, optionnaly)
-and the xmpppy lib at the 0.5.0 version or higher.
+You need python 3.0 or higher, and the SleekXMPP python library.
+You can find my patched version at http://github.com/louiz/SleekXMPP until
+my changes (required to properly run poezio) are merged upstream.
you can launch poezio with
sh launch.sh
or you can install it with (as root or with sudo)
make install
-(`make uninstall` works, don't worry ;))
-you can then simply launch poezio
+(`make uninstall' works, don't worry ;))
+you can now simply launch `poezio'
You can edit the config file (~/.config/poezio/poezio.cfg by default)
or data/default_config.cfg (if you want to edit the config before the
first launch)
-See the online documentation for more information:
+Please, see the online documentation for more information on installing,

- The code
-======================
-
-Classes:
- - Connection *receives* messages from the Jabber network
- - MultiUserChat *sends* messages to the Jabber network
- - Gui displays everything on the screen and gets the user inputs
- - Handler is the "link" between all these classes :
-a class emits a signal and the others classes listen to this signal
-and do what they have to do whenever this signal is emitted by any class
-
-Q: Why not use Connection to receive AND send the messages to Jabber network?
-A: I like it this way.
-
-Q: Could you please make a nice ASCII art, so I could understand all
- the beauty and the complexity of this awesome software ?
-A: Of course, here it is:
