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's own website: http://sip-communicator.org

The project was renamed to Jitsi
