Giving people the ability to communicate freely and in a decentralized way sounds like a good idea to me. But there have to be good XMPP chat clients in order to be able to compete with proprietary chat clients. My main goal in contributing to Gajim is to make it easier to use. The client has been around since 2004, and it shows. In the past years, I helped redesigning various areas, including the most critical bit for first time users: account creation. At the moment, I'm involved in rewriting Gajim's core features, which is really exciting for me, looking back at where I started.

Having good clients is step one, step two is promoting them. In order to provide new users with an overview of available clients in the XMPP ecosystem, I believe using Compliance Suites and establishing XMPP DOAP are the way to go. On the other hand, users have to make a decision about the service provider they want to use. [https://invent.kde.org/melvo/xmpp-providers XMPP Providers] started to gather infos about various providers, offering a machine-readable file for XMPP clients to use. In order to give a better overview and to raise visibility, a user-friendly website is planned. This is what I want to work on in the future.
