Jitsi (SIP Comm Phone)

Internet phone and instant messenger

SIP Communicator is an audio/video Internet phone and Instant Messenger. It supports some of the most popular instant messaging and telephony protocols such as SIP, XMPP/Jabber (and hence GoogleTalk), AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, IRC, Bonjour and new ones will be coming soon.

This particular project concerns a number of tasks needed to be accomplished so that SIP Communicator could become a viable or even better alternative for Skype, but all in Open Source.

The following tasks are to be accomplished within the scope of the project:

  • Developing a Java implementation for the ICE protocol.
  • Audio/video telephony for XMPP/Jabber.
  • Conference calls.
  • File transfer.

The project was renamed to Jitsi
