[Adium-devl] Adium iPhone

[Darren Swan]

Hello all,

I'm new to the Adium Development Community, but I'd like to be as active in it as possible. I've read almost all the iPhone posts, and I do have a few things I'd like to input on it.

First off, I do believe that an iPhone version of Adium is something that's almost expected by the OSX Adium users. And that they are going to expect it to be similar to the desktop version, if no other way but the price, free.

Second, it looks to me like the issues are being overthought. Just because it cannot operate like the desktop version does, meaning no background daemons, no Growl, and most importantly the connection issues; doesn't mean its going to be a slimmed down version of Adium, it only means that we're gonna have to be a little more creative on how things get accomplished. If there is one thing I've learned from the different programming classes I've taken so far, it's this simple idea; There is no one way to do something.


Last, I know there is the issue of people working on the iPhone version versus people working on the desktop version. My proposed solution there is to let people work where they want on it, you'll get the best results per individual that way, but I also think that there should almost be a new team of people just for the iPhone version. I'll volunteer to work almost exclusivly with the iPhone version, and I have help on my end from classmates and instructors at school.

Thanks,
Fortinbra
