Oh, at the last Tor developer meeting I heard that this project was looking for a new name since it doesn't make sense to wear "Tor" in it as if that was a quality endorsement.

It's in beta, Thanks for developing a tool that is less bad than Adium or Pidgin, but we should really move away from federation and its terrible lack of protection for the social graph. With Ricochet becoming more widespread as the *real* Tor way of doing IM, end-to-end using hidden services, why should an old-fashioned OTR/XMPP client/server less secure tool be promoted as *THE* Tor Messenger? It's just highly inappropriate. I had suggested to call it "WAM" as in "Wrong Architecture Messenger". Please let me know which more appropriate name I can feature on http://secushare.org/comparison as a forth best practice recommendation... *after* Ricochet, Tox and Retroshare. Thanks. Sorry for trolling, but I can't help saying things. -- E-mail is public!
