Is there any energy out there for a *really good* open source > Twitter GUI client that would run on Linux, Mac and Windows? Define "energy." Spaz has been out there and FOSS since mid 2007. Moving off AIR and doing lots of other good things have been in my plans for a long time, but open source in no way means people want to help you. No one will be even close to your own interest level. FWIW, I'm leaning towards deploying Spaz as a hosted FOSS web app -- that is, you could use my server, or DL and host it yourself. It would focus on providing a good experience for touch-based clients particularly. When that will happen is pretty much dictated by who else takes interest. Integrating well with StatusNet's server software seems pretty appealing right now. -- Ed Finkler http://funkatron.com @funkatron AIM: funka7ron / ICQ: 3922133 / XMPP:[email protected] -- To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject.
