since we are on this topic maybe I can share something regarding an offer
for a chat client in the PLUG Website.
regarding the chat for PLUG, somebody from www.chatpinoy.com offered to
add chat in our PLUG website but I didn't really implemented it yet coz I
still have to get the consent of the PLUGgers themselves and also
the PLUG-board.
there were some issues I encountered with their offers kasi:
1.) I checked the web regarding where the software came from. I found
out that it was a shareware client and therefore we need to pay for it. I
don't know yet what kind of license they have for giving us a chat
interface in our website.
2.) I thought of PLUG as an organization that promotes opensource/free
software to the world and I was thinking that maybe PLUGgers don't want
the idea that a proprietary software is running in our website.
3.) I don't know if our current server can handle that many requests. The
server is a property of one of the PLUGgers and I don't really know if he
is running something important in that server.
4.) I still need to know what you think of this proposal.
but if you guys really wanna chat......there is a chat client in
chatpinoy's site for linux..........the URL is
http://www.chatpinoy.com/linux.htm
and you can also connect through MIRC, just forgot how.
