Hello thanks for the feedback, you quoted an old sentence, retroshare is a very advanced chat messenger now, soon v 05 comes out.
http://retroshare.sf.net is a library, so it is ready to use. Just compile it A how to compile is found here in the developer wiki: http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Developers_Corner RetroShare 0.4 uses XPGP library. RetroShare 0.5 will soon be released and then OpenPGP with PGPme library is used. The Current RetroShare SVN and Compile Scripts are already siwtched to PGPme flag. So read the right HOWTO from wiki: http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/UnixCompile0.5 As you see, retroshare uses a Qt gui too, so you easily can copy paste it in. There are even gui clone projects: http://Retromessenger.sf.net<http://retromessenger.sf.net/> RetroShare (RS) is the library with elaborated Qt gui RetroMessenger (RM) is the small gui project for mobile devices and messenger only. Using a Qt small gui and as well a WXwidget gui. Third: There is http://dooble.sf.net which is adding RetroMessenger/Chat soon. Currently it is bundled. If it is possible, to have as well the normal ICQ and Pidgin Protocols as well under the hood, dooble might change from Retromessenger to LicQ if that is identically, I can open up only the idea, maybe someone of the devels sees the potentials Licq just needs to open with a retroshare login, and then all other protocols are parallel.. in the gui Regards On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 4:48 PM, Anders Olofsson <[email protected]> wrote: > > pmx wrote: > >> Hello >> >> I want to suggest to add the serverless messaging >> http://retroshare.sf.net >> to licq >> >> both apps are Qt so they could be merged. >> >> Regards Max >> >> > Hi, > we always welcome tips and ideas for ways to enhance Licq.
