Hello, all. After trying to help many newbies get onto Jabber, I have become incredibly frustrated at the current state of Jabber clients for the Windows platform. While Linuxites and BSDites like myself may be fine with an incomplete Psi (no GroupChat!) and the clunky Jarl, our Windows friends are clearly not. And this is made all the worse my the majority of the Windows clients being buggy, incomplete, or difficult to download and install.
So I have begun a think-tank project to help organize and plan the Ultimate Windows Client (for Newbies). It is *not* intended to actually code it, just develop ideas for it, foster interest in it, and promote it to the masses. There are currently two options I am considering (but suggest more if you can!): 1: Building a modular, COM-based client. It would be easy to develop for, since it could accept a wide range of programming languages and would be intelligently componentialized. 2: Using and helping the development of Peter Milliard's new Exodus client, which boasts to be one of the most stable, fastest, and well-featured clients for Windows (and potentially UNIX, too).
