Hi
so...
*about the Wrong Live Messanger Tabs*
I think it's a feature of wlm plus, and it shows tabs as amsn actually does
but it always shows the more and less tabs icons... I tried to do a
screenshot, but my windows works correctly (read: it crashes)
*about motivations*
We are lucky to have good developpers but I think that the actual system of
releasing tires developpers. I mean: many of answer for a problem is: "get
the svn". I think that we should release a version about every 3 months ( i
don't care about the name, it can be 0.98.x, 0.99RC1, 0.99svn1 or
whatever...)
Then i think that we should give some gift for very important
patches/plugins/skins (a lapel pin, a shirt or whatever... don't mind... but
a symbolic "thanks!") If aMSN did pay for the conference Holland (or
Belgium?) last year for some developperss, i think that we can pay a lapel
pin...
Think to Firefox... it gives 500dollars if you discover a security bug...
and you make some points to you if you contribute to the project or if your
"friends" download firefox through a your banner... and with poits you can
obtain a shirt, a rucksack, etc... I know that Mozilla respect to aMSN is
very rich... but just think about this system.
*about new topcw*
The important thing is that now every tab is a canvas, so we can add things
nicely (a dp before the nick, a status icon, emal, psm, an animated icons
that "say": New message and so disable the flirking, if tabs should have a
max width or not, etc...) we can add an icon on the right of tab frame with
much options so people can customize their own tabs!
*then another thing...*
if we want a new site (a multilanguage one) i can do it... i have some
experiences with joomla... . Wlm, and emesene has a multilanguage one...
That's all, i think...
sorry for bad English
