Not just Minichat.....
Initially the Tigase project was about the XMPP/Jabber server development. After a while the project received a support from other developers more interested in client side development. So now we host quite a few projects related to the IM and XMPP in particular.
The main focus is put to the server development and to the web clients development. By web client I mean not just the Minichat application used by many visitors of our website but also our AJAX libraries for XMPP/Bosh communication which are used in a few bespoke projects and also our child project - Tigase Messenger.
We have been working on the Tigase Messenger for some time already and it is still not yet finished product but we think it can be demonstrated to the public. Please go to the messenger.tigase.org page, login, play with it and let us know what you think.
Please note the client can connect to the XMPP server (Tigase) working for tigase.org domain. Therefore you can enter your JID if it is in this domain. Otherwise we encourage you to use the guest account which is entered by default.
The client is based on our XMPP4GWT library which is under constant development and many improvements have been added recently.
Of course as all our code the Messenger's client code is also open source available under GPLv3 license and source codes are available in our SVN repositories.
If you login as the guest user you will have 2 contacts with your roster who are the Tigase developers. One is the client side code (libraries and web clients) developer and the other is the Tigase server developer. Feel free to start a chat and ask any question you may have.
We are always happy to help you and answer all your queries.
As always any suggestions and comments are very welcomed.

Yes, the client uses the Bosh protocol for communication which is a standard protocol for communication between web clients and XMPP servers. Most existing XMPP servers support Bosh.
We have added however a few extensions to the Bosh implementation on both the Tigase client and the Tigase server side to improve communication, handle page reloads and so on. Therefore I think if setup of Tigase server and Tigase messenger would work best.
Very impressive! I just checked out the demo and by far this looks like the best available XMPP web client. I assume it can be setup to work with any xmpp server?
Again, nice work and thanks for sharing and open sourcing it!
