Add Chat/MUC

Started the project with just voice calling. Would be nice to modularly allow having a larger interface that included receiving and sending chat messages. An extension of this would be to support mutli user chat.

Is this built on an xmpp base as I know you guys use ejabberd alot.

This client is xmpp based, using the jingle in libjingle. Let me explain a bit.

Jingle is xmpp based, and libjingle contains an implementation of jingle based on the spec, http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html. To make things a little bit more confusing they also include an implementation of jsep(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-jsep-00#section-7.2) inside libjingle, which is what webrtc uses for media sessions, where webrtc is basically just glue and an audio/video processing library, and drivers.

In the end, I imagine libjingle might be swallowed up by webrtc, and broken into it's various parts and integrated, but it's a fair amount of code and probably not a top priority.
