About
Spectrum 2 is an XMPP transport/gateway and also simple server. It allows XMPP users to communicate with their friends who are using one of the supported networks. It supports a wide range of different networks such as ICQ, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk), AIM, MSN, Facebook, Twitter, or IRC. Spectrum 2 is written in C++ and uses the Swiften library and various different libraries for "legacy networks". Spectrum 2 is open source and released under the GNU GPL.
Spectrum 2 is not intended for strictly desktop users, ie those who have no familiarity with running server side applications. It is intended to provide a service to desktop users, but be managed by server administrators. If you are interested in the project but have no familiarity with running a server (and no interest in learning), please speak with your local system administrators about making Spectrum 2 available.
