It is an open source audio/video and chat software written in Java that supports multiple protocols including SIP. Specifically, the former name of it was SIP Communicator. It was listed as a wanted port in Wiki and in the beginning of December I submitted it as a new port in GNATS. If you want to install it on your system and test it, please download from the PR [2] the jitsi.shar file and install it as usual (make install clean).
