What is this?

It's an IRC-like interface for XMPP Multi-User-Conferences (eg: chat rooms), back-ended by the lovely, node-xmpp.

It roughly implements XMPP's IRC command mapping

    })
 
client.join({ jid: 'example@conference.jabber.org', nick: 'example' })
client.on('message', function(message) {
  console.log(message.from + '' + message.body)
})
