Q: what is "shotgun" ?
A: shotgun is a somewhat feature-ful xmpp (and only xmpp) library+client
that I wrote last year to fulfil one purpose: an EFL xmpp client that could do
tooltip images on mouseover of a web url. it reached that stage fairly early
and then gained a bunch of random features -- I wrote elementary's collapsing
frame animation to use in the settings panel here.

Q: so...it works?
A: for a given value of "works". I've used it exhaustively with google talk and
tested (successfully) connecting to ejabberd. some ui bits aren't working very
well due to recent elementary changes, but they're not critical and/or
noticeable. wfm.

Q: you know your ui is ugly, right?
A: yes, gustavo, I know it's ugly, but I don't care since I never intended for
it to be widely used. in fact, you once did a very nice mockup of a
more mobile-friendly ui for me which I have had open in my web browser for
around 8 months now: http://people.profusion.mobi/~gustavo/shotgun-chat-ui.png

===============================================================================
I realized that this has been wasting away on my github for the past 6 months
without much activity, and, while I currently have nothing that I'm planning to
do with it, others might enjoy hacking on it or something. if people want to
change stuff around, that's cool with me: no need to ask first.

it should be noted that shotgun contains a fully functional and separate
library for working with xmpp and that this library does not in any way
require the application.
