implement end-to-end encryption (PGP or OTR)
End-to-end encryption is an interesting feature of XMPP, useful for privacy or industrial secret. It would be nice to be able to use PGP or OTR with OneTeam.

OpenPGP and OTR usage is very low.
E2E was abandoned (although implemented in Gajim, and working quite well)? xTLS seems to take a lot of time…
Any idea?

I've been looking for an iPad app which supports OTR. Currently, I've found none, with only Crosstalk commenting that it is planned in future versions.
It seems that you have a possibility to add a feature that would really differentiate yourselves.
Over half of my contacts use OTR (everyone on Mac and Linux, actually), many via Adium which supports this by default. I would really like to know were you are getting your information that the usage is low.
The reason that this is important is that iPads are often used on insecure networks and these IMs are sent in cleartext. The only other way to secure Jabber communications would be to use a VPN, which is beyond the abilities of most users.

Well, it seems quite normal that the usage of a non-implemented feature is very low. :-)
Nevertheless I have several contacts that use OpenPGP, and I personally use it whenever possible, and I would not use a Jabber client that does not implement it.End-to-end SSL is used by Gajim indeed. It is applied by default whenever possible, and works rather well.
