Q:
How much does WuWu cost?

What's the difference between the lite and Pro versions?

For starters the lite version is Free, and the Pro version is not.

The Pro
version also comes with and, can run more advanced Communication Modules than
the lite version.

Q:
Is it safe to use for private conversations?
A:
YES! WuWu Pro fully utilizes strong encryption thanks to Crypto++
5.1 to provide safe and secure communications over the Internet.
The communications are sent directly to the people you want, and not routed
through a large server like so many other Instant Messaging products do!
Q:
What kind of strong encryption
does it use?
A:
WuWu Pro's default configuration is to establish a 192bit AES Symetric Session
Key using a SHA1/HMAC and 4096 RSA Key Exchange.
That means we are using the strongest legal form of encryption possible.
Q:
When will it be available for download?
A:
Now!!! Go Download it Today.
Q:
What does Group-Based mean?
A:
Groups are meeting places within WuWu. They can be public or private, subject-based
or not!
Just whatever kind of groups people decide to create are what will exist.
You categorize your group and can even require authentication for people to
communicate in that group in the Pro Version.
Q:
Who is allowed to create a group?
A:
Any registered user!!!
Q:
Can I set up my own corporate group
structure that is completely separate from the Internet?
A:
Absolutely, in fact one of the main reasons for WuWu's design is for this
very purpose. All you need to do is download the GroupPack and install it
as directed.
Q:
I am behind a firewall. Can I still
use WuWu?
A:
YES!! WuWu is completely Firewall/NAT compatible!
Q:
Isn't WuWu just like any other
Instant Messaging Software?
A:
NO!!! WuWu is very different from most Instant Messaging software!
This is because of several reasons:
1. WuWu uses a decentralized model not a client-server model like most IM
software.
So all communications using WuWu go directly to the people you trust and never
route through someone elses server.
2. WuWu is completely modular and allows you to create and load any kind of
communication module you wish!
3. WuWu boasts a highly customizable filtering system unlike any other communication
package
that lets you automate or be notified of up to 10 distinct parameters per
filter!
Q:
How do I create a Communication
module?
A:
You must download the moduleSDK, which will be available very shortly after
the 1.00 release of WuWu.
Then read the supplied documentation to learn how to begin creating your own
communication modules.
Q:
Why doesn't WuWu have a place_your_idea_here
feature?
A:
Good Question. Maybe because no one has thought of it and your the first!
So why don't you tell us about it and we'll do our best to include it in future
releases!
