Cleartext Enterprise Messaging 2.0

ProcessOne - Nicolas Vérité - February 03, 2011

David Banes, from Cleartext, has released a new opensource product: an Enterprise Messaging 2.0, based on ejabberd.

At the SeaBeyond event to day in Paris, David Banes, CEO of Cleartext, has introduced a new way of doing microblogging. It is a client-compatible, standards-based protocol extension, based on message stanzas. It is not relying on PubSub nor XEP-0277: Microblogging over XMPP, that may not be ready yet, or not completely address all the requirements.

It features of course EIM, Group Chat & Microblogging, has security and compliance designed in, and notably has Integrated Content Filtering, Malware Protection, URL & Image Filtering and Archiving with eDiscovery.

Inspired by “XMPP:The Definitive Guide”, it is modelled on ProcessOne Twitter Gateway, and it is a Python XMPP component (XEP-0114). It is NOT federated (yet)!

The client has text-based commands:

"me" - shows who you are, your username and jid (Jabber ID)
"ers" - shows your followers
"ing" - shows who you follow 
"f username" - follow this user
"u username" - unfollow this user "
"d username message text" - send direct message to the user 
"@username message text" - mention a user, a public message to a user 
"s" - show saved searches 
"s word" - save live search term 
"us word" - delete live search term 
"help" - show this help
