Ave, it's been a while since I started a thread here (Kopet list, never started a thread on the Gaim list). Meaning you all already know I did something weird and unexpected, especially considering that I spit out code faster than most of most comercial companies ;) In any way I have a pretty much working KDE wrapper around libfaim. Which I'd like to have after 0.7 release in Kopete instead of our oscarsocket. So to reduce the number of replies to minimum, right of the bat read the following four points a few times before clicking anything : 1) libfaim does NOT depend on any GNOME headers (no, not even Glib), 2) I do use KExtendedSocket, meaning the wrapper is more KDE native than the current oscarsocket implementation which uses QSocket's, 3) Gaim developers are not the devil - they maintain libfaim rather well, we CAN work with them (assuming that they will acknowledge the fact that I am better looking than any of them), 4) look #1 I want to spend two more days playing with it after I send it to the list, I'm sending this email because I noticed emails from people who are already planning major reworks of the oscarsocket. I do not see a reason for having two different implementations of a proprietary protocol, especially if both teams have to spend a fair amount of time rev. eng. the damn thing. If you do, then please, oh, please give me a good reason for it. For once we can work together with those guys on something productive. I talked a little bit with some of them on irc yesterday and they were more than willing to work with us. Comments? Zack -- Press any key to continue or any other key to quit... |
