OpenVerse is a graphical chat system coded in TCL/Tk, available as open source software.
To get started with OpenVerse, make sure you have TCL/TK installed. If you're using Red Hat or one of its variants, you can download the RPM and install it as root with the following command: # rpm -Uvh OpenVerse-0.8-7.noarch.rpm. Those using Debian stable can either use # dpkg -i openverse_0.8.5-1_all.deb or # apt-get source -b openverse if they have the appropriate deb-src line in their sources.list. Users of other distros, like Slackware, can install OpenVerse from the .tar.gz archive with the command # tar -zxvf OpenVerse-0.8-7.tar.gz # mv OpenVerse /usr/lib/OpenVerse # ln -s /usr/lib/OpenVerse/OpenVerse.tcl /usr/bin/OpenVerse.
In this release, OpenVerse has SKETCH, a feature that converts default servers from openverse.org to openverse.com, and VILE, which includes documentation updates for openverse.com. Overall, OpenVerse is a great software to use for chat, especially with its easy installation process and versatile platform options.
