ChatKit

[prometheas]

Does chatkit have its own website or anyhting yet where we might be able to read an faq-type thing and maybe a little more information yet?

Funny you should say that.

http://chatkit.net has just been setup, we're working on customizing it right now.

Sweet. Nice goals... can't help but wonder, though, will there be any effort to make it cross-platform (in the sense of compatibility with GnuStep, perhaps)? Or will it likely rely on some Apple-only APIs?

Heavy reliance on OSX 10.4 and later.

Oh, and as of today we can receive messages in the test client

Too bad it's too geared towards OSX; I'd like to see it ported one day. Which it may.
When you say "test client" you mean a simple hacked-together application that uses the ChatKit API and not using it's own code?

Right.

There's another project doing something similar to ChatKit that's more cross platform. We'll see what comes of it.

Who cares? ChatKit is obviously better

Especially because I work on it! Zaudragon++;

We may or may not end up using it. Their website sucks.

We may also release a "lite" version which does run on GNUStep. Also, I *think* that the current code is pretty portable. Except fast message dispatch, what 10.4 specifics are we using? (HOM should also be portable and if not, MPWFoundation is )

If someone from the GNUstep project were to get involved, I think it'd become a lot more portable a lot quicker. Otherwise I think we're just going to focus on OS X.

The libraries themselves may or may not be portable though.

chatkit forums? (it would be a great way to have people suggest ideas now, when hard building them in isn't to much of a problem.)
