+XMPP-Client
+===========
+
+The goal is a minimalistic graphical user interface for a secure (fail hard!) and trustworthy XMPP client.
+
+This goal is achieved with clean-slate libraries (OCaml-TLS, OCaml-OTR) and few features: no support for HTML/avatars/which music you're playing, ...
+
+The configuration has to include the trust anchor for the server certificate - otherwise there is no way how a client can ensure to talk to the correct XMPP server.
+
+The features I plan to support:
+- single XMPP account
+- OTR (built-in and enabled by default)
+- strict TLS certificate verification
+- plain text (no HTML!)
+- XEP-0184 (Message Delivery Receipts)
+
+While it is currently GTK2 code, the interface is strongly inspired by mcabber.
