The Meanwhile Project is an open implementation of the Lotus Sametime
Community Client protocol. The Meanwhile Project is neither endorsed by
nor affiliated with Lotus or IBM. It is an independent project aiming to
fill a space Lotus has left vacant.

The heart of the Meanwhile Project is the Meanwhile library, providing the
basic Lotus Sametime session functionality along with the core services;
Presence Awareness, Instant Messaging, Multi-user Conferencing, Preferences
Storage, Identity Resolution, and File Transfer. This extensible client
interface allows additional services to be added to a session at runtime,
allowing for simple integration of future service handlers such as the user
directory and whiteboard and screen-sharing.
