[Commotion-discuss] Has anyone implemented serverless messaging over a mesh?

[Evan Hutchison]

Yes Ben, they do- but it is embedded with the Serval Mesh package which, as
you point out, runs on Android handsets.  We are using BATMAN with Pis as
WAPs and routers, as well as with an existing mesh running over TP-Link
routers- so I want something that can run across different platforms
(Linux, Mac OS, Windows, Android) and is independent of their system.

Right after I posted, of course I found
kouchat<https://code.google.com/p/kouchat/>which runs on everything
but IPhones.  It does the trick, but I would like
to find something that allows for MUCs.

Thanks Dean, will check it out.
