From the JabberWocky homepage: "Jabberwocky is a jabber client software for Amiga. Jabber is an instant messaging system, similar to ICQ or AIM, yet far different. It is open source, absolutely free, simple, fast, extensible, modularized, and cross platform. After receiving the source code of Jabberwocky we began to continue the work on it. We have made it open source and have set up a project on Sourceforge."

I'm glad someone is developing that again. I really liked using it on my A1200 to chat with folks in MSN and Yahoo messenger. Be sure to see about adding in the bug workaround that had to be added to AmigaAIM and other chat programs in order to make it run on AmigaXL too, it's well documented and all that, but if you don't add the workaround then it simple hangs when you start it on AmigaXL (be nice if they fixed that!)

I couldn't make it work :((
Maybe porting www.trillian.cc would be more interesting...

I had some problems getting jabberwocky to run using the server mentioned in the
included docs. But using the amessage.de server solved this problem and now it's working very nicely :-)

If it helps anyone understand this, "Jabber is an open, XML-based protocol for instant messaging and presence." More detail on the open source and specification can be found on Jabber.org, specifically http://www.jabber.org/protocol/
Jabber.com is the commercial, "RedHat" side of the operation, which does things like selling implementation support (and fancy, GUIfied servers) to corporations looking for an IM system.
Basically, as an open protocol, Jabber is a lot like IRC. You can use Jabber.com's servers and IM gateways (to AOL, ICQ, etc), *or* any other open servers someone's decided to run, a few of which are listed at http://www.jabberview.com/ - all the interoperability dependencies (adapting to AOL's continued breakage of the AIM and ICQ networks, etc) are centralized at the server end, which can make life easier for a corporate campus or everyday users, so long as someone's keeping an eye on the server. Network interoperability for native messaging seems achieved through the Jabber User Directories run by Jabber.com/Jabber.org (similar to the DNS root servers), but nothing prevents an unlinked (private/semiprivate) server using its own directory without subscribing to the central authorities.
Personally, I'm an IRC and email diehard, and swear off IM. However, if I wanted an IM system, Jabber is the ideal architecture. (Trillian has been faster to keep up with the ever-changing AIM protocol, but AFAIK there's nothing that keeps its code from being incorporated into the Jabber gateways- other than, perhaps, AOL blocking connections from known Jabber server IPs, which is a political problem, not a technical one.)
Anyone who likes IRC and likes the annoyance of IM should love Jabber. ;)

How about 3rd party contribution to AmigaOS?
I think it would be nice to include Jabber into AmigaOS 4.x with reaction GUI of course. Even some Linux distros come with Jabber client!

I've used Jabber both on a PC and my Amiga, but it goes through a jabber server to get acess to the
icq, msn services, (if they haven't changed that yet) while e.g. Trillian from what
I've read connects directly to the mediums servers...
