Status update.
If anybody interested - we released GPL version of SNIMMER:
=================
SNIMMER 1.0
This is the first public version of SNIMMER. You can download it here:
http://www.snimmer.com/snimmer/snimmer-1.0.tar.gz
S.N.I.M.M.R. stands for Single Network Instant Messaging Mediation and Relay.
SNIMMER can talk to any IM network and can relay instant messages from one IM
network to another. Currently one cannot use AOL messenger to chat with users
on MSN, Yahoo! or GTalk and vice versa. SNIMMER overcomes instant messenger
non-interoperability.
SNIMMER has been designed primarily to help webmasters to chat with web
visitors on any IM network using any instant messenger.
This product is ready to be used. Just install it and you can start chatting
with your web visitors.
This package comes with two parts:
1. a relay component that routes messages between IM networks
2. a chat initiation web interface
Features include:
* works on linux and windows (should work on Mac with a few changes)
* supports multiple simultaneous IM sessions
* allows blocking of IP addresses
* free open source (GPLv2+) software
* works with IM networks for which there are existing XMPP transports
(currently tested with: Jabber/XMPP, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, MSN)
* web visitor screening (interview)
* pre-set (canned) responses
* auto-termination of idle sessions on timeout
* typing notifications support
If you decide to patch this product, you are encouraged to do so. Most likely
you may want to customize the chat initiation web interface to fit your own
website. Read more about this in INSTALL file. If you decide to make changes
to the relay component, you will need to have python skills to do so.
If you would like to see a real life performance of SNIMMER go to
www.snimmer.com, enter the username for your AOL contact (or any other IM
network) and your Yahoo! contact (or any other mutually non-interoperable IM
network) and click "Connect".
If you wish to try the hosted version of SNIMMER IM for webmasters you can
register your website or blog here: www.snimmer.com/register.html
