What is XMPP/Jabber?
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
XMPP (formerly known as Jabber) is an instant messaging system that
|
|
allows users to communicate with one another. XMPP also
|
|
supports creating and joining chat rooms for group communication.
|
|

Recommended clients
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
We recommend using our installation of the web client Jappix: http://jabber.cern.ch.
|
|
On the other hand, if you prefer to use your own local client, we recommend:
|
|
|
|
- Pidgin for Linux/Windows
|
|
- Adium for Mac OS
|
|
|
|
However, there are many other options, so feel free to check some other clients to choose the one you prefer.
|
|
|
|
See more in the chapter about `XMPP Clients <XMPPClients.html>`_.
