Thoughts on CE messenger
Hi guys,
One of the first things that attracted my notice in CE is the CE messenger project. I followed all the (long) threads that sprouted around this idea at various times. And I think this is something that is totally do-able, provided we stay committed this time around 😀.
I did my mini project based on the idea of an instant messenger. (Which is shared #-Link-Snipped-# at CE) This got me interested in giving a try at the CE IM.
Anyhow, I would like to be enlightened on some basic details about the messenger concept. I hope someone who has previously worked on this project could provide me some answers:
* Are we planning a messenger where we login with the CE usernames and access the chat functionality?
* Or is the idea to use any alternative ID like the CE mail ID, or the network ID
* I'm still new to CE, but I seem to notice that the Network ID is used as a means of instant communication between members. Since this is based on the Google App Engine, I think it will be pretty straightforward to implement a CE messenger based on the network id.
* If above is not the case, I suppose we'll have to implement a chat server (as mentioned in similar threads), in which case I need to do a lot more extra learning 😀
Well, and that's it. I wish to continue with this idea and actually conclude it successfully 😀 It might take some time, but let's not give up the CE messenger forever!

Ankita KatdareI would love to work on this. But I have no knowledge of chat servers.
But still, I would love to be a part of the team and learn
Anyone joining?
PS: I am sure Goyal would. -
Manish GoyalI am all game for this
But since i have other commitments ,i am afraid whether i will be able to work on this or not
I think, first of all we need a team leader who can guide us -

I'll start looking into implementing a server and more; that's something I too doesn't have much idea about.
But I haven't received any feedback regarding using the network id for this. I think CEans are already using this ID in their gtalk for communicating with each other. Let me know! (BTW I received my network id from the admin 😀 ) -

I think we need not rush about it. Let's take our time learning what is required, and planning.
Too much discussions will only have a negative effect on the actual work done(I just made this up rigth now 😉 )
Anyways, we can move at our own pace. I too cannot guarantee a continuous work on the same.
But keep in mind that, we Will make this happen 😀 -
sookieLet's keep it aside and start something new, better and creative using "Android"? What say ? After all, mobile world now? It will be really fun working on mobiles.

Android? But I don't have an Android in the first place, and it'll be a while till I get hands on one 😉
Although it'd be nice, if we can get someone interested in it.
