Aloha Jixt,

To answer this with a quote of one of Belgium's most famous comedians

I agree with you here...double work is something the beOS community is good 
in ;) So you already did some work on an MSN client....is there some code we 
would be able to re-use in this project? Btw you must know we want to make 
this messenger the Be way, not mimic the windoze MSN, but trying to surpass 
it...especially in user friendliness....

I know the app, doesn't work with my Fuji Finipix sad enough...good in c++ 
is nice...I am only starting to get the hang of it...

Preferences view and the way preferences(like login) are handled have to be 
changed indeed, so it's an area we need some work in....but we also have to 
discuss how we want to handle preferences(a Handler for example?)...The 
login preferences are saved with the entire window that represents them, so 
they need a lot of work.... one problem though is that we don't have too 
much features for preferences...so does anyone know another job for 
Jixt...the UI also needs a lot of work...and I think maybe Daniel would like 
some assistance on the protocol side, am I right about that...cvs access 
won't be a problem, we can arrange that soon enough...

regards,

Tim(aka Sir Mik)
