Asunto: Re: [Tails-dev] Requirements for a Pidgin replacement
Would this be an acceptable point to introduce the suggestion of a
serverless communicator of some kind being included?

Uses should be obvious, but in case not, it eliminates some MITM options
and reduces reliance on infrastructure outside the intended
participants.

Some examples:

Tox - definitely isn't mature enough yet (hasn't had any external
audits)

Ricochet - very reliable/stable (though a bit stagnant) and made to work
with Tor onion services exclusively

Serverless chat in XMPP (xep-0174, no known mature implementations)

Ring (from Savoir-Faire) - development in full swing with a large and
active team

Ring and Ricochet are the strongest candidates as far as I can tell, but
people with better knowledge of ideal crypto implementation might want
to look over their choices. In any case, I'd like to see it in Tails,
even if it has to mean including two separate clients.
