[Quorumchat-development] Progress, after a fashion

[Jesse S. <jes...@ya...>]

After some late night coding sessions I have put together the foundation
for a client and a server for this project. Right now they don't do
much, but the pieces are falling into place.

At the moment the server will wait for clients to connect, accept
messages from them and print messages received to the screen to confirm
the message was received. The client will allow the user to create a new
account, connect to the server, send an encrypted message and disconnect.

The next step will be to get the client and server speaking the same
protocol so they actually DO something when they talk.

On a side note I've been developing the client with modularity in mind.
At the moment the client is a graphical (GUI) application. However, all
the working parts are separate from the front-end display. This should
make it easy to create future clients that are command-line based or web
based.

I hope to set up a place-holder website soon with snapshots to download
so people can test drive what I've got so far.
