 Marcin:

 The first cchatd concept was built in 1999 by our friend Felipe Waltrick,
although he can't help us as much as he wanted to he is one of the project
managers. The very first version of cchatd was implemented using forks,
but we tried threads and I don't remember who have told that it should be
better... whatever, let's try and try, according to the project concept
and organization we shall be capable of changing modules without major
changes.

 Feel free to send us fork patches.

 About next step, I have a document called VERSIONS.wannabe, it's a
preview of what directions to follow and what to add in which release. I'm
trying to submit this document to SF's document session, but aparently
documents uploads are disabled :o(

 I'm sending you a copy of the file attached any way.
