http://www.haskell.org/hircules/ Last update was over 5 years ago - you could try to still build it. But it uses gtk2hs, not ncurses. Personally, I've thought about this as a project *several* times in the past, and somewhere around here, I might have a few bits of code thrown together laying around. The -main- reasons I haven't worked on it any more than I have already is because: A) I was under the impression I was still the only one looking for something like this - or maybe lots of people want an 'xmonad equivilant' of their IRC Client? :) B) My uni. blocks 6667 for some reason, so in order to connect with a terminal IRC client outside of here, I need to use SSL. And there are *no* good SSL wrappers out there at all for Haskell as it stands - this alone is a major inhibitor of usage; I know I always want my clients with SSL support. C) I've been busy. That said, if you would like to really get something started and perhaps hack on some stuff, that would be terrifically fun and interesting. Does anybody have name candidates? Perhaps we should go with the yi scheme from confucianism - the zhi (knowledge) IRC client? ;) > Thanks, > Jason Austin _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
