I'm directing my questions to developers of this specific client, not to the creators of Whastup closed network (I don't care about the later and their network). I'm not saying that the client as is doesn't help anyone. But can developers make the client in generic fashion so it could be used for general purpose XMPP as well? Pidgin for example supports XMPP and bunch of proprietary networks as well. This client could implement a similar idea. Then it would be really good for the open source mobile community.
If you want to call it a "bug" thread - consider this a feature request then.

Problem is, the features of Wazapp aren't near to being complete and bug free, so the time scale of altering this to communicate with another server would not happen any time in the future, near enough for it to still be relevant.
Seeing as Wazapp has been designed solely for use with WhatsApp proprietary stuff, it would probably be easier to use the Source Code for this app and then create a port of it using a more open XMPP server.

As it stands Wazapp is designed PURELY for WhatsApp and to change that would be to change a lot of its core code.

And you was asked politely not to talk offtopic here, as why it's developed is offtopic. You don't ask G+ why they do it when there is facebook. or yahoo if there is google or vice verse. It's not like they spent your tax money on developing wazapp client. If you don't find it useful, go and start developing your own useful apps. But for now you only harm the topic by polluting it with irrelevant info. Use search and you'll find all whatsapp and wazapp related topics, we have few of them on TMO, and if you, like you said, not that interesting in searching all over the TMO it's your own problem and don't make it's all other people reading this topic problem, as it's egoistic. Why do you think if you too lazy to find other topic, all active members of this thread need to be patient with you. With that approach you would never get anything you ask. Thank you and have a good day.... «I said good day»(c)
For some reason I think most folks here aren't getting the point. That's more sad regarding developers, who could help building good open source mobile XMPP/Jingle client, but instead they work on this.

ZogG: You conveniently ignored the point of the discussion (I think you understood the question well enough though). godofwar424 said above that the client is too limited at the moment and it's hard to make it generic. If you are a developer you can confirm this statement (or not). No one thinks that devs are someone's personal devs. But if you are scared of questions about community benefit from your applications - there is some serious problem.
Sure, if it's the question of no resources - then there is nothing to say. Developers do what they have time for. But if adding generic XMPP support doesn't cause overhead - they why not to propose it?
