Gossip is an instant messaging client for GNOME. Layered on top of the open protocol Jabber is a clean and easy-to-use interface, providing users of the GNOME Desktop a friendly way to keep in touch with their friends.

The goal of the Gossip project is to development a multi-platform solution for communication and collaboration over the Internet. We intend to do this by developing an easy to use clean graphical user interface and making full use of the extensible XMPP protocol. The project is all about getting together and having fun developing a crucial tool for long distance collaboration.
