That would be a worthwhile avenue to pursue further. But if you look carefully, there aren't many open source messengers that implement p2p. Atleast none that I know of personally.

And TIPIC messenger, even though it says on their website that it is p2p, i realized after going through it, that it is not completely p2p. It is more like a hybrid p2p. Some of its feature, like file transfer are p2p oriented, while for authentication, it still uses a sever. The moment I saw that it supports yahoo,MSN and alike protocols, I realized this messenger can't be p2p, because all those protocols are client/server oriented.

On top of this it has its own server called TIMP that TIPIC users can connect to with their own protocol. Although it says in BOLD that it is open source, I couldn't find any links to download the source. If you know the link, it would be helpful if you can post it.

Even though the tipic messenger can be used for internet communications, it was primarily designed for intranet communication. I don't know if it can serve our purpose. Though its source could be an eye-opener.

Thanks for the links btw.

This is a long thread and therefore I request someone to post the thread summary in a new thread. New members may not go through entire discussion.

Have we finalized on anything yet?

Take your time, pal. It makes me feel good to see that the engineers are actually doing something! I really want someone to summarize the conversation and put it in a new thread so that new members understand what's going on here.

Why dont we do a robot ?

A robot will require the skill sets of an electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and computer science engineer.

Let create one with the follwing sensors

Ultrasonic for proximity sensing
Temperature
Webcam to see on PC
bluetooth or FM for controlling

Hey, this is an interesting project! Hope its going well.. I don't mind joining in I have one question though.. if we do use P2P, it'll be hard for people stuck behind some NAT firewall in university or a company won't it?

No plans for a "web" version of this CE Messenger?
