1. @snikket_im is really interesting. It allows almost anyone to set up a messaging server in minutes that supports OMEMO end-to-end encryption, Audio/Video calls, federated with the myriad @xmpp servers around the world.
2. All of this without reinventing the wheel, simply using some of the best free sw available server-side and client-side, modifying and integrating them the minimum necessary to provide a pleasant user experience.
3. Matthew Wild (mastodon.technology/@mattj) presented the initiative at last @fosdem, here you can find his reasons and the video of the presentation: snikket.org/blog/products-…
4. Here the detail of functions added in the latest release: snikket.org/blog/feb-2021-…
5. Here are the contacts to stay informed (including a chat participated by users and developers)
snikket.org/contact/

6. Mattew and his fellow adventurers are very kind and helpful. I received in chat the tip to unlock the Italian localization of the portal immediately. (Available from next version)
8. There are 4 docker containers, to separate the different parts of the system. On a debian buster just install docker and docker-compose. For this simple installation you need a dedicated public ip at the moment.
9/End: The only downside: there are not fully satisfactory xmpp clients for the Apple world yet. But Snikket people are working around the most promising one (#SiskinIM for ios).
