Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : meanwhile Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Christopher O'Brien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://meanwhile.sourceforge.net * License : GPL Description : open implementation of the Lotus Sametime Community Client protocol
The heart of the Meanwhile Project is libMeanwhile. This library provides the basic Sametime session functionality along with the core services; Presence, Messaging, and Conferencing. This extensible client interface allows additional services to be added to a session at runtime, allowing for simple integration of future service handlers for whiteboard, screen-sharing, and file transfer. Rather than design a custom client around libMeanwhile, we turn to the excellent and very popular open source project Gaim. Gaim provides a flexible framework for any number of client protocols, and integrates multiple messaging services into a single application. The Meanwhile plugin for Gaim provides presense tracking, customizable user status, messaging, conferencing, and will soon include a user directory. I will be packaging both the library as the gaim plugin (up to when it becomes a standard protocol of gaim). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
