Gateway for XMPP users to transparently chat in Matrix rooms

Matridge is a gateway for XMPP users to transparently chat in Matrix rooms. It is an XMPP server-side component that acts as a Matrix client and makes it possible to pilot a Matrix client from any XMPP client. It implements modern instant messaging features such as rich replies, spaces, attachments, emoji reactions and threads. It is self-hosting friendly, community-lead, written in python and based on slidge, an XMPP gateway library.
