About IMonAIRAt IMonAIR, we are developing a new open-source library for instant messenger connectivity. The project is planning to create support for:
AIM YIM MSN Gtalk. We will eventually expand the target protocols even further, though our focus
... [More]
is on these four. We can only do this with your help and on-going support!
Regarding the name, the project was named because of our focus on creating an AIR application, though the value of this project is more the foundational protocol libraries which we are attempting to build separately but in conjunction with the application.
Current StatusWe currently have completed a simple protocol for MSN and a very basic AIR client to go along with it. The next stages in that development will require adjusting the application so that the protocols work more as plug-in libraries. Basically we'd like to DRY up the core code structure so that it would be easy enough to adapt future protocols.
For the MSN application the base functions as they are available now are:
Connection to MSN protocol Retrieving List of Contacts Set your display name Set your status Send Messages Receive Messages Participate in Group Chats Add/Remove Contacts (Need some testing / bug Fixing) (Un)Block Contacts (Need some testing / bug Fixing) Some features there should implemented for future releases:
Logging on to MSN via SSL without the use of the webservice Start Group Chats Sort List of Contacts in Groups (contactGroups) (client should implement this) Send / Receive Display Pictures (Tried, but failed to implement) Send / Receive Files Add emoticons in Messages (client should implement this) Who Can Help?Anyone with intermediate to advanced experience in AS3 are welcomed to donate their own protocols or help adjust the core RIA application. We especially ask that individuals who've worked on their own protocols please submit them regardless of their completion. We will look to take that code and modify it to integrate into IMonAIR.
We are looking for individual with a range of different talents. Here is the following list:
A developer who can implement the AIM protocol A developer who can implement the YIM protocol A developer who can implement the Gtalk protocol A developer who can enhance the core RIA application A developer who can enhance the GUI for the core RIA application How to Get InvolvedSimply contact one of our project owners or e-mail a request to david (at) mozzly (dot) com for more information.
