I've been playing with tox(thanks rysiek!) and it looks
rather interesting. I noticed however that it's not listed here
i am not saying the scorecard is worthless, but rather, it is at best a signal for subpar projects doing things obviously wrong.
Oh, I wasn't commenting on the security of the software listed or tox in particular.
What I meant is that tox is an interesting project and maybe more publicity from eff would help.
I'm testing it on my non-techie friends and I think it needs a bit more time. I mean, for the most part it works and is already much, much more usable than XMPP+Jingle or SIP/SIMPLE SNAFUs, and actually possible to set-up by a non- techie person, but it also does experience occasional crashes, and sometimes has problems re-connecting to DHT upon user switching the physical Internet connection.
Connection wise I haven't experienced any problems. Some friends of mine on windows set it up in minutes (they are not particularly techie). It also depends on what client you use I guess. I tested utox on a windows xp machine and it only took a few clicks to install. But having no off-line messaging does impair usability. Not being able to 'add' people unless they are online is...akward.
