#1 If you decide to use features, you will want to integrate it with Cucumber [1] #2 You will need to use the copyright header notice as mentioned in the GNU website [2] #3 Avoid using system(). If you decide to use shell commands, you can enclose them within backticks, and return the result to a variable. It is good to check the status, always! #4 Follow Ruby coding guidelines, strictly. Fix your indentation. #5 Write variables in full. @choice instead of @choic. #6 Ruby is also about being concise. You don't require the parenthesis in the if() statement. if @choice == 'y' instead of if(@choic == 'y') The same goes with function invocation: quit instead of quit(). --- | Most of the linux users spends time either in Web-Browser or in Terminal, | and we were thinking how nice it would be if we are able to chat from | terminal itself instead of opening a Web-browser. \-- Did you do some research on finding available chat clients that work from the terminal? If yes, how different are they from your implementation? Emacs has jabber support [3]. irssi has xmpp support [4] to talk to a Jabber network. There is also the option of using BitlBee [5] that can act as a gateway for multiple chat protocols. This allows you to use any console client of your choice.
