Re: [bme-develop] Re: Possible new project member

Hi,

wow a lot of traffic on the bme list :D...I mostly agree with 
Simon...probably because we discussed much of how we should implement Bme 
before we even joined Daniel. By not mimicing the Windows MSN I meant not 
mimicing the UI...I do want as most protocol features as possible in our 
program, only provide them in another way like Simon said already.

right now Daniel is doing p2p and file transfer, I am working on the User 
pic view, Simon was improving my click and change name view. The logging in 
needs work I agree, so you could start on that....but! I thought of another 
thing you might do! hotmail integration, ie making the view with the mail 
pic(I believe 29.jpg in the emoticons folder) with the No new mail messages 
that pops up a hotmail window when clicked...that's kinda loosely coupled 
with what we are doing....but so is the login view....and I do agree about 
having that in the MainWindow...btw shouldn't we also support the logging in 
of multiple users?

The preferences can be worked on, but the problem is, we haven't much to 
preference...so maybe leave that till we have more features implemented...

Also you should know about some coding guidelines we're currently adapting:
-every class should go in a separate header and a source file(within the 
reasonable)
-we will use the javadoc standard to comment the code, the javadoc goes into 
the header
- I prefer the:
   void method()
    {
     }
   bracketing style above the :
    void method() {
     }
     style...because you can more clearly see what bracket belongs to the 
other one...but that is a personal preference....Daniel uses the second 
style, so choose the one you prefer....

well I think that was about it...btw read about the svg lib today at 
iscomputeron.com....maybe we could use that also to get ourselves an even 
better looking app...

P.s. the Flemish Comedian I mentioned was of course Urbanus :D
