Wow everyone, thanks for all your suggestions!<br><br>@Michael: Thanks for the offer, but I don't think its really worth the learning curve of figuring out your whole code base. We've got how many GPS or Web Browser apps now? Two more IM Clients can't hurt:)<br>
<br>Here are the things I have decided to implement for now:<br>* GUI Is definately going to be Elementary<br>* Backend is _probably_ going to be telepathy, though I am still considering libpurple<br>* I am going to start from scratch, not write a new GUI for Pidgin. I would rather stay away from Pidgin after the whole forking over text box resizing fiasco last summer.<br>
* I will not implement IRC, because I assume most people that would want to IRC from the FreeRunner know how or have set up an irssi+screen server somewhere.<br>* I am trying to keep the scope of this very low, and just support the basic necessities of a chat program(including conurrent sessions). A lot of apps on the FreeRunner are pretty slow, and I don't think hardware is solely to blame. I would rather have a faster program then a more featureful one.<br>
* I am going to avoid small buttons, and instead opt for a large menu that can pull down.<br><br>Thanks again for your encouragement everyone!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 8:30 AM, Sebastian Krzyszkowiak <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:seba.dos1@gmail.com">seba.dos1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>opimd should work quite nicely at the moment.<br>
