Wokjab

About

Wokjab is a jabber client done with GTK and that tries to make it possible to make plugins for everything it uses an XML based signaling system where the data from the jabber server is tried to be preserved as long as possible.

Its not designed to be cute and “userfriendly” but rather configurable and hackable

Me ( Kent ) is the only developer at the moment and your very welcome to contact me on jabber at nedo@jabber.se even if its only to give your first impression and tell me wokjab sucks 8-)

Bugs

Add the relevant plugin before an - if known else type unknown - description

  • Fileshare - sometimes stops when downloading a whole directory
  • Fileshare - in the search widget multiple marked files doesn't get downloaded when using the popupmenu and the download button doesn't work
  • Wokjab main program - in a chat window, the text entry area can be down-scaled so that it disappears
  • [MINOR] Wokjab main program - Expand the plug-in list window by default to some degree so one doesn't have to do it oneself all the time :D

Feature requests

  • Popup window if you haven't saved your username/password at login and make it configurable to not do so
  • [MEDIUM] Resuming transfers, option to have the transfer window pop up on transfer
  • [ ] Customisable icons for the roster and systray
  • [ ] A saner main menu, current one looks a little odd
  • [ ] No extra group necessary for p2p stuff, another way might be to just right-click and tick off an option
  • [ ] More pep features like usermood, avatar subscription
  • [ ] Pubsub stuff like various blog-/feed-like notifications?
  • [ ] Collapsable accounts/groups in the roster, suggesting the already-used arrow approach, see preferences, looks best
  • Setting your avatar in gui
  • Icon for the groups to easily identify them
  • Plugins with a name in the list :P
  • Possibility to register and subscribe to pubsubs
  • [LOW] roster > account > context menu > ”(dis-)connect”
  • Bookmarkable groupchats plus auto-join
