As a user, I presume this is for private communication between developers? I’m not quite sure how Parabola uses XMPP right now. I haven’t used Tox, but the advantage of not using a centralized server mostly means that you don’t need to worry about the server being offline. Is it even possible for Tox to support delivery of messages to offline users in the future? AFAIK XMPP as a protocol could in theory be used without a central server. I don’t understand why they do not simply use XMPP with GPG for a uniform standard. Since for Parabola this is about software and not protocols, it probably does not matter much. I don’t think Tox as a protocol is the right direction though. Regards, Florian Pelz
