Clients and tools comparison

Clients
, , , ,

As for software features comparisons on Wikis (eg: Clients XMPP), I would like that we compile tables to compare different aspects of Duniter clients and tools. This is famous for XMPP clients which check boxes of implemented XEPs (RFCs for features). I would like to do the same for Duniter clients and tools to get a better picture. This post is in wiki mode, feel free to edit.

Je ne pense pas quโ€™il faille invoquer ici WotWizard-ui, qui est un client du serveur WotWizard. Seul ce dernier est un client de Duniter.

WotWizard and WotWizard-ui are two separated repositories, but one is doing the backend stuff and the other the frontend stuff. In the end, they are serving the same purpose, and wotwizard-ui presents and displays in much better way the information.

I just added the wotmap with a new capability : warn Sybil attacks.

Est-ce que tu peux prรฉciser la licence de WotWizard-ui, sโ€™il te plaรฎt ?

Comme tous mes projets, je mโ€™en tamponne un peu le coquillard que qqun reprenne le code. Ce sera donc GPLv3 ou qqe chose du genre. Je mโ€™en occupe dรจs que jโ€™ai 5min :wink:

@kimamila, @vit, @poka, and anyone else can you double check that the information are correct. Please fix, and complete if needed. Do you have ideas about additional criteria of comparison?
