34 ** WTF ? ** | |
35 SàT is a XMPP (Jabber) client, made on a daemon/frontend architecture. Its aim is not only to be an instant messagery client: XMPP offer a lot more, and differents tools will come in the future. | |
36 | |
37 For the moment, the frontends are: | |
38 | |
39 * wix: a wxwidget frontend, the main graphical frontend | |
181 | 40 * primitivus: a console interface client, for screen lovers |
0 | 41 * jp: the command line toolkit. The tool for geeks by geeks |
348 | 42 * libervia: the web frontend. It's in a different package, check libervia on the wiki: http://wiki.goffi.org/wiki/Libervia |
0 | 43 |
44 other frontends planed in the near future: | |
45 | |
46 * a KDE 4 frontend, as KDE is my main desktop environment | |

58 SàT is really at an early dev stage, so it's maybe the buggiest software you have ever seen, and there are for the moment absolutely nothing to ease the installation and use (but it will be the case ASAP, one of the goal of the project is the ease of use). |

67 To use SàT, you need to have D-Bus daemon launched (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/). If you use X Window, it should already be launched. If your are on a terminal environment without X11 (e.g. on a server) you may have to launch it. You can launch a daemon using the following command: |

97 SàT is the acronym (yes another one :( ) in tribute to the song Salut à Toi from the Bérurier Noir band. I recommand also the excelent cover from Les Ogres de Barback. | |
181 | 98 jp stands for "Jabber coPy" or "JumP". If you look well, you can also find my initials ;) |
99 Primitivus is based on Urwid, and, according to their FAQ, "ur" is a german prefix for "ancestral or primal" (primitivus is latin word) | |

0 | 113 proxy65: |
114 SàT (plugin_xep_0065) use nearly all the code from proxy65 (http://code.google.com/p/proxy65/) wich was coded by Dave Smith (2002-2004) and maintained by Fabio Forno (2007-2008). | |
181 | 115 As the original MIT license allow, the code is reused and sublicensed until GPL v3 to follow the rest of the code. |
0 | 116 |
117 progressbar: | |
181 | 118 SàT (jp) use ProgressBar (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/2.2), a class coded by Nilton Volpato which allow the textual representation of progression. |
0 | 119 |
120 twisted: | |
348 | 121 SàT is heavily based on the twisted framework (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/), a very great tool which offer a lot of protocols management. There are too many contributors to name them here, so take a look on the website :). |

126 wxWidgets & wxPython: |
181 | 127 The Wix frontend is made with wxWidgets (www.wxwidgets.org) and its python version wxPython (wxPython), which is a really handy UI toolkit who works on most popular platforms. It can be found on probably all major Gnu/Linux distributions. |
128 | |
129 Urwid: | |
130 Primitivus is based on Urwid (http://excess.org/urwid/) which saved me a lot of time. It's really a great library to easily make a sophisticated interface. | |

133 Libervia is built with a Pyjamas (http://pyjs.org), a Google Web Toolkit port for python, including Python to Javascript compiler, and Pyjamas Desktop which allow to execute the same application on the desktop or throught a browser. It's really an amazing tool. | |
134 | |
135 Pyfeed and Xe: | |
136 SàT core and Libervia use pyfeed and xe (http://www.blarg.net/%7Esteveha/), 2 libraries made Steve R. Hastings really useful to parse/generate xml stuff as atom feeds. | |
137 | |
138 txJSON-RPC: | |
139 Libervia use txJSON-RPC (https://launchpad.net/txjsonrpc), a twisted library to communicate with the browser's javascript throught JSON-RPC | |
