It's not a new project, it's just skinned Element. Jitsi does not have the features of Element.

    Tchap is the Element-based server. Visio is a different thing. Although you can trigger Visio from Tchap (like you can do it with Jitsi from Element).

    No such thing as an Element based server. The server is Matrix. Element is the app. Visio is not a different thing, it's just Element Call.

    At first, I wrote "Element/Matrix" and decided to not be too pedantic... But if you want to be complete: the messaging protocol is, of course, Matrix. You could say there is actually no such thing as a Matrix server either, because it's a protocol. The server must probably be Synapse-based, I guess. But there is an "Element-based server" in the sense that the web interface of Tchap (and phone apps) are very clearly forked from Element, which is what I meant.

    Visio is based on LiveKit, which Element Call is also based on (as far as I understand). It lives outside of Tchap. The DINUM never mentioned it was based on Element Call. Do you have additional information? (Not that the difference matters much I think)

    A Matrix server is a server that uses the Matrix protocol. You could be more precise and say Synapse but that excludes community-developed forks like Continuity, Contunuwuity, Tuwunnel, etc. etc. So yes, I maintain that is the "correct" terminology.
