Topic: A project, something

This idea was recently posted on irc, but some people are idling a lot there so they might miss it(you know who you are).

Since the name of the website is devnode, we should all be developers of some sort? Right?
What about combining the awesome power of our knowledge into one application? It does not have to be something that's new or innovative, it might just be some interface for a Quote database or a program that fetches the latest xkcd jokes to your desktop? I don't know, that's why I am asking.


So, rubb your creativity spot(Now I'm not sure where yours are, but I know where mine are) and reply!

Re: A project, something

I missed it! /me was in idleville tongue - *jk* Its just that my pc always runs so im always on irc. and if my pc goes off there is still my bnc which makes me stay online and look like idle. Anyway..

The name of the website is devnode yes but that doesnt mean everyone should or has to be a developer. Of course everyone is welcome to irc.devnode.net but especially coders/developers. xD  If there would be a chat-less radio or something, that could be great for getting a few more people. And i think its not a big thing to start a project if there are enough people with enuogh time.
A quote database sounds good. I started one some long time ago and aborted it again cuz i think i was alone with that idea and was thinking about some bot like Isabelle that is able to commit quotes and checkout random quotes -n- stuff.
Maybe we need to make a team first where everyone says what hes able to and what his skills are.  cool

Re: A project, something

What will be our first journey? i'm for it. we must make DevIRC first. i'm thinking about PYthon, GTK+ (PyGTK packadge too), since its not heavy to learn (both) and there's tons of PYGtk guys out there. it'd be no problem porting it to *nix, GNU/Linux and windows. we could use Twisted as connector to IRC or write our own socketing system. or, if anyone is good at C# (which i'm not big_smile) could write GUI, other one the main connector and ping/pong sender. I have kind of an idea that there must be multi-skins option. we must make list smile or i think its already here on this forum somewhere.


my words:
DevIRC
written in Python and GTK+ (working on all platforms without problems)
First using Twisted as protocol handler, later maybe our own socketing system
changable skins with icons
usual buttons like op, deop, voice, devoice etc
special oper-menu, if you are detected as having oper mode
etc etc, its quite long list.
compiled to EXE, or packadged as tar.gz (source for unix-like systems) - bhaal might wanna do exportation to Mac OS X packadge. we'll see smile

but we must grab more guys together first tho, i'm not very good as heavy-progs python programmer, and there are multiple ways (i always grab longest and worst, which doesn't work always), so we must grab some more PYGTK'd people first.

so, thats 125979 823548973489639047568392 thoughts from me, read you around
