This is the RWTH Aachen University's shiny new XMPP/Jabber-Server.

After 10 years of service it was time for a complete relaunch.

Existing user accounts have been migrated and should continue to function mostly the way you're used to. However, a few things have changed:

• we no longer offer any transports (for ICQ, MSN, AIM, GaduGadu, Yahoo or IRC)
• accounts with email addresses that didn't exist anymore were excluded from the migration
• from now on unused user accounts will be deleted after one year
• all MUC rooms (Multi User Chat) (even those that were lost a few years ago) have been restored as <ROOMNAME>@muc.jabber.rwth-aachen.de
• from now on unused MUC rooms will be deleted after 90 days
• we no longer offer the Flash based SparkWeb client or the JavaScript based CampusWebTalk client on our server
• we're considering providing converse.js as a web client on this server, if you would like to see this implemented please contact us
• we now support a ton of new features that will make your life easier, a few examples:
• XEP-0198: Stream Management
• XEP-0313: Message Archive Management
• XEP-0357: Push Notifications
• XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload
• as a result, support for mobile devices has increased significantly and commuciations with external Jabber servers are working smoothly again
