Fire

Andrew,

Welcome to the Team!

I think it would be a good idea to get together and brainstorm the best 
way to integrate the iChat library into Fire.  Most of us us IM to get 
together and chat...

If you want to get in touch with me, I am on AIM as:

alanfiretest
or
JavaMadMan

Just let me know when a good time to get together is and I'll make 
myself available.

Alan

Hello,

I am a member of a group of Open Source Software developers who are 
working on providing free Instant Messaging software on a wide range of 
platforms.  In particular, I am one of the developers of a product 
called "Fire"  (http://fire.sourceforge.net).   Which supports a wide 
variety of IM protocols in a single application for Mac OS X.

As part of this process, we are very interested in providing 
compatibility with all aspects of the Instant Messaging work from other 
platforms.

Yahoo! Messenger utilizes the TrueSpeech 8.5 codec on Windows to 
compress/decompress their audio stream for transmission of what they 
call "Voice Chat".  As you know this codec is an installed component of 
Windows due to Microsoft's Licensing arrangement with The DSP Group.

I am very interested in determining what options are available to us to 
be able to have access to this codec on other platforms (like Mac OS X 
and linux)

Obviously, as open source developers, we do not have the resources to 
enter into a standard licensing agreement, but perhaps some modified 
version of the codec could be made available for these other platforms 
which gives The DSP Group an advertising opportunity, or perhaps an 
upsell potential to have the end user purchase a full version of some 
type.

I would be very interested in talking to your Business Development or 
Licensing team to determine if we can come up with a business 
opportunity for The DSP Group which makes sense.

Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Thanks,
Alan Humpherys

I am using version of Fire v .32d. For some reason I am unable to 
connect to ICQ and MSN services. Any reasons why? What should I do to 
fix this problem. I'm running 10.2.6. I can connect if I use MSN 
Messenger or the ICQ application. When I launch Fire, I make sure that 
ICQ and MSN Messenger are not running.

Hello Jason,

thanks for your comments on the spec. I'm glad work is in progress and 
going strong.

You're right, I am not a programmer. I will provide NIBs and graphics 
AND design documents. I think the design documents are very important 
to keep the application coherent.

Some questions:

1. Should I continue writing the spec?
2. Are there any documents you can share with me?
3. Can you put me in contact with the GUI developers?

Many thanks! We're glad you appreciate the work we've put into making
Fire great. Words of encouragement are our only reward for the work we
put into Fire, and yours were especially kind.

We wish you luck with Fire in the future!
