Ouch ! Hi, between my so beautiful week end and my first day of work tomorrow, I take the time to read mails and read yours too ;) And the first point where I disagree is : You want to drop Tcl/Tk ! And it's a huge point ! Because if you drop it you will have many devels who will leave the project because they don't know C or C++... Tcl/Tk would be the only common point between aMSN and aMSN2 so if you remove it why call it aMSN2 ? (not the same devels, not the same languages, no incompatibility ) The only common point I can find is the aim to have the better MSN client the Earth will ever have ! KaKaRoTo you said I didn't created the amsn2 tree... But if I created it I would have put in it our work with TkHtml... But where will be TkHtml in this design ? It will be a GUI in TCL... But what said Harry ? "Usage of Tk for plugin UI components will however be strongly discouraged." so it will be a sort of "Do you I say but not what I do" very strange... In addition, you seem to be very tied with GLib and don't want to use C++... Why ? Why use some emulation of C++ in C ? If you want to use classes so we should use C++... Else I could advise you to code our classes in assembly :p Well, in fact, I totally disagree with this design but maybe I am the black sheep... Even if I know C and bases of C++, I couldn't let all non C/C++ devels leave the team... Please everybody say if I am wrong or not ? Maybe I have too much feelings... Phil P.S. Harry, it's not that your design is bad (maybe on Glib thing it is bad :p) but I think it hasn't any relation with the aMSN that everybody know...
