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...
