Hey guys, We made decent progress towards a prototype during Kieran's summer of code project, but there was still work to do, mainly on the GUI by the end of it.
Since then we didn't make much progress as Kieran was back at University, and I have other commitments, but Kieran started work on the GUI again in mid-December and it sounded like he was very close. What the project really needs is another good Java programmer (or two, or three!), to get their teeth into it. I laid down most of the ground work with a really powerful encrypted messaging layer that is deceptively easy to use (inspired by how GWT handles client-server communication). If anyone is interested, I would be more than happy to spend a few hours walking them through the codebase over Skype. Tahrir is designed to expose the nicest possible API to the layers above, so it should be quite pleasurable to work with. For anyone that makes a decent contribution, I'm also happy to be a resume reference for them in the future. If any good Java coders are interested in the project, please take a look at our architecture docs<https://github.com/sanity/tahrir/wiki/Architecture> and email me. Ian.
