Currently, only some clients (iChat, Gajim) support server-less chatting, a feature which is very interesting to be able to discover and communicate with people on a local network, without the need to be connected to the internet. The reason behind the slow adoption of this protocol is probably that it breaks with the very fundamental way Jabber is designed (client-server architecture), and as such is a significant amount of work for an existing client to adapt its codebase. The aim of this project is to bring server-less messaging to every XMPP client, by implementing it outside of the client. | Currently, only some clients (iChat, Gajim) support server-less chatting, a feature which is very interesting to be able to discover and communicate with people on a local network, without the need to be connected to the internet.
