Re: newbie, XMPP framework

[Christopher Culver]

Gaim has been working lately to separate its core from its GTK2 frontend. I 
think it would be a good idea to create a GNUstep front-end on this core, 
since the work is already very mature. Please, oh please don't duplicate 
effort by creating a new project. Gaim has nearly everything one would want as 
it is, and it should be easy now or in the near future to put whatever 
front-end one wants onto it.

Adding GNUstep support to a big project like GAIM (usually one of the most 
popularly ranked free software projects) would help get GNUstep more exposure.
