aMSN, emesene and pymsn programmers, together to develop aMSN2
Something happened in the aMSN forums one month ago. A group of programmers from aMSN, emesene and pymsn started a discussion about how to develop aMSN2.
First of all, the main change in aMSN2 will be that from now, they won’t use tcl/tk anymore. They are now using python and EFL libraries (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries) with which the gui will be much nicer than the current one (that’s not really complicated).
aMSN2 will be a multi-front-end program. This means that there will be different gui depending on the desktop or operating system we use. For example, on Mac they will use cocoa as a front-end, on KDE4 QT and XUL and GTK on GNOME.
Emesene programmers will focus on the GNOME version while pymsn programmers will work on the MSN protocol. The rest of the programmers will work in other general purposes.
All this still in development, there is one interesting screencast about what the current state of the program is. We hope to try in a few months this new internet messenger.
