Piorun Client
Links
Description
Piorun (=lightning in Polish) is going to be a client for semi-advanced users, somewhat resembling XChat or TKabber, written using C#/Mono/Gnome# and integrated with Gnome desktop. Main goal is to provide comfortable interface for dealing with many mult-user chats and large rosters, with good keyboard navigation. I also want to keep the code clean and extensible.
Implementation details
- Piorun uses own XMPP library based on TcpClient, using packet-level synchronization with GLib's main loop. Control flow can be safely interrupted in any place to update GUI, which makes application more responsive
- XMPP stanzas are wrapped into c# classes
- Contacts (described by Jabber ID's) are first-class objects, they alone send and receive stanzas and do many other things
