hi list,
I and a friend we use/like kopete, but
at the same time we kind of hate it,
it works well but the user interface
is really bad from our pov.

We have several ideas to make it better
but we believe not everyone will like
it, we started a fork in gitorious named KIM
to get an idea of the code and how hard would
it be, after talking with boiko I decided to
post here since I'd like not to fork, I'm
involved in too many projects already.

As the project seems to be a bit dead
(not many commits in svn) I tought
that not too many people would complain about
some changes in the ui (if you want to have
an idea get the gitorious code, it's far
from done but it'll give you an idea).

I'd like to hear from you if I can start
hacking directly on trunk or you want
kopete the way it's.
Another idea would be having a kopete 2
like amarok 2 that is very different from
1.4.
My friend is skilled in java but I'm helping
him to do qt stuff in cpp, he is removing
compiling warnings from the code.

Also as I don't have much time the changes
won't happen so fast which is one of the
reasons a kopete 2 would be good.

Best, ________________________________
