We are alive

It may seem that the development of emesene 2 is a little staled, that may be because february is a busy month for me, but under the hood there is some movement. :D

we have mailing lists now!

http://lists.emesene.org/ there are 3 mailing lists, I recommend almost all of you to suscribe to emesene if you want, dev is for developers or people who want to contribute code, that means that you already know python, if you want to start to learn, then ask on the emesene mailing list.

We have been discussing the extension/plugin architecture for emesene 2, we want to make almost all stuff on emesene 2 to be an extension that can be replaced by others. That would mean that if you don't like the current menu, the user panel, the contact list, the conversation window or any item inside it you can create an extension, register it and your component will replace the default component (selecting it on the preference dialog).
We want to have this well defined so we don't change the api and the extensions/components don't need to be patched .
It also means that you wont need to send patches to us in order to make a change, you just copy a component, make your changes and register it/distribute it under a different name.

that is our idea, now we must make it right :)

Glad to hear Emesene is alive! It's my favourite IM client on Linux and it's what inspired me to learn Python! So thanks!

Sorry for stupid question... but...
If Mariano Guerra is away, the emesene's develop is blocked??

It's not better create a little team...
amsn team want migrate to pymsn, the same core of emesene... well, why do you create two interfaces for same project

Thanks for your good work
bye

At the moment, Mariano is the only one who finds the time to actually code sth.
There are other people who (will) collaborate, as emesene1 had, but this moment is crucial so we want to write good code to put the basis to a better future work.

Hey Mariano it is me, the guy how ask you to add that option to remove all the toolbars from emesene, I'm glad to see it is in progress and with hopes to become the best alternate client for linux and windows, I'm already using the beta on windows because my linux wifi screwd but as soon as I'm back linux I'll be using it there too, cheers and thank you!!

emesene is great but it needs to be better, please when we maximize emesene 2 make it looks better...
centralize every text box and re size it,

This is my suggestion.

Love and use emesene! But please keep in mind not to make it slow(er) in the next versions like WLM.

Hi, I've converted emoticons from aMSN for make them working in Emesene.
I'm writing you so that, if you want, you can add the link to my gnome-look page in the section Theme of the Trac of emesene (in which the already existent link to amsn emoticons pack is blind).

Make me know if you are interested...
you can write me a comment on that page or on the messagebox on my blog.

See you, bye...
Francesco.
