   Description     : Fluux Messenger: A fast, modern, cross-platform
XMPP client for communities and organizations

Haven't found an official long description. Here's mine:

Modern XMPP client that uses Typescript and Tauri and has a modern and
intuitive UI, cross platform for desktop, mobile devices, web. Includes
a built-in XMPP console.

  - Q: why is this package useful/relevant?

    A: It is a modern XMPP client, it already somewhat works on mobile
devices (with plans to improve there) and allows using XMPP Adhoc
commands. There's currently no client packaged that allows doing that.
There are also not many XMPP desktop clients packaged.

  - Q: is it a dependency for another package?

    A: no

  - Q: do you use it? if there are other packages providing similar
functionality, how does it compare?

    A: I use it, even on a phone running Debian, the UI does not yet
have the right scaling, but it is quite usable. The user interface seems
quite intuitive and easier to use than other options, apart from Dino,
but that also has different functionality.

  - Q: how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team (check
list at https://wiki.debian.org/Teams)? are you looking for
co-maintainers? do you need a sponsor?

    A: I'm not sure who could package and maintain it. I'll CC the
Debian XMPP Maintainers mailinglist to see what they'll say.
