[Beosimkit-development] Status report

[Linus A. <lin...@sm...>]

Hi,

Gabriel. Are you still around?

Anyhow... I have done some coding on the kit the last few weeks.
Now I come to a place where I don't know in what direction to 
move. There is a lot to fix, but I don't know where to start.
This is what I got so far:

- limited but functional im_server
=09- no tracker integration, instead using a simple window for contacts.
=09- add-on interface quite finnished.
=09=09- Fake addon done, which only "bounce" the messages correctly.
=09=09=09- If a contact is added, it starts to send messages.
=09=09- The rest of the addons need to be coded... ICQ, SIM etc.
=09- Functional logging system.
=09- Some test applications.
=09- Handles several clients connnected to the im_server at once, and
=09  syncs the messages for each client, so they all get the same
=09  "history".
=09
- build system is functional but quite featureless.
=09- handles make, make clean, make dist

- Simple IMClient.
=09- Just a testing environment at the moment. Very simple, and
=09  not done in a correct manner. Mainly because the lack of a
=09  complete system, that is preference system including Preference
=09  app etc.
=09- Needs to be started from the terminal because we have no preference
=09  system.

- functional libim.so
=09- Simple interface for applications to talk to the im_server.
=09- limited because the rest of the system is limited.

- SIM suite. ;)
=09- Simple Instant Messaging
=09- Featureless functional Instant Messaging.
=09- SIM Server
=09=09- Functional for debug purposes. 
=09- SIMClient
=09=09- Can either listen to messages for a certain user, or
=09=09  just send message from a user to a contact.
=09=09- Not usable really ATM. Just made for debugging purposes.
=09
=09- SIM addon for im_server would be simple to do, but is yet not done.

PS: Building the system to actually test it you need to 
=09"make dist" in order to get a working system. The applications
=09would otherwise look for libim.so and libsim.so, but "make dist"
=09creates a dir based on PROTOCOL_NAME and VERSION and puts the
=09binaries in correct places.
