[Imservices-development] Firelite and Proteus 3

[Jason T. <tow...@ma...>]

Now that the Proteus 3 code is posted on SourceForge, I've been looking 
again at Firelite and what it would take to move that project forward.

As far as I know Andrew has not heard of Firelite before, so here's the 
quick summary:

Last December we started an experiment to combine the Fire UI with the 
IMServices backend from Proteus. This project is called Firelite. We 
got to the point of being able to log on and receive messages.

Since then there has been a lot of change both in Fire and IMServices.

Moving forward, here's the plan:
1) change Service to ServiceItem in Fire to avoid conflict with the 
Service class in IMServices
2) change firelite tree to depend on main fire tree to allow it to 
track Fire changes more closely
3) update IM* classes in Firelite for new IMServices framework/Fire 
changes to regain previous level of functionality

I've completed 1 and part of 2 so far. Once the basic system is in 
place I will let everyone know.
