Tkabber is a GPL instant messaging client for the XMPP protocol which uses the Tk toolkit for the GUI. It runs on anything to which Tcl/Tk is ported: almost any X-based system (namely, any Linux and *BSD, Solaris, etc.), Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X. ==Availability== Tkabber is primarily distributed in the form of two tarballs containing the code of its "core" and standard external plugins. Since Tkabber is written in an interpreted language, it does not require any "building" for a target platform. Nevertheless, Tkabber is packaged by most of known Linux distros and FreeBSD. Also special "all-in-one" packages for Microsoft Windows are provided (they don't require separate installation of the Tcl/Tk runtime) in the forms of installer and starpack. Starpack for Linux x86 is also provided. ==Mission statement== The goal of the Tkabber project is to create a cross-platform XMPP client which is feature-rich and is easy to hack. Tkabber is written in Tcl allowing it can be customized without knowledge of a low-level language such as C++ and its build system. ==See also== Comparison of instant messaging clients ==References== XMPP Software: Clients Tkabber on JabberFR Tkabber on debian packages Happy 7th birthday, ejabberd!
