Hey,
I''m wondering if anyone out there would like to work on a completely open-source IM client with me. We would ''compete'' with Miranda/Trillian, melding the two and extending it further. This entails work on a specific protocol, some general software engineering issues, and UI work. We''d start out developing for Windows and then go on from there. The early alpha I have is in C++, however I''m beginning to doubt the feasibility of using it so I am open to discussion on language choice.
It may not be as "wow" as a game, but its a much smaller project and well-suited to someone who wants to get their feet wet with development.
