Suggestion for Wiki

[newdep]

Hello All,



What about we build a newlisp html-Chat cgi for the Wiki ?



That way we can talk realtime ? Or is there already an IRC

somewhere running ?



Norman...

Build one and I can install it at newlisp.org/chat. I could put an additional menu option on the newlisp.org home page which says "chat" and links to it.



What type of chat are you thinking: (a) separate client app on the user side or (b) browser based client (would need to refresh the page every 5-10 seconds).



Lutz

Are you quick or what... already build one ;-)



Personaly i prefer the web-based chat which is independant.



But if the Web-chat could listen/send i.e. XML data ? then the webchat

could be made more flexible for newlisp programmers who like to chat ;-)



Where newlisp.org hosts the server and everyone can build their own client ;-)



Norman...

[Lutz]

I also prefer the independent web chat, and as you say, it doesn't prevent anybody to build a client too.



I understand you have one already?



Lutz

[newdep]

Im thinking of a windows client (using the newlisp power dll ;-)

and a linux client (gui based with newlisp.so ;-)  and the other

options are still a nice TK version or even Gtk-server client ..



So if the cgi applet has the option, clients can be born ;-)

As you know, I already have a GTK-server chat client based on your "TALK" protocol... I can easily build that in newLisp for other protocols as well. Just let me know when you're ready... ;-)

I like Lutz's view, a plain Web based cgi. Have a read only scrollable textarea that updates every 10 secs and another textarea to type into. You might won't a field to put your name, a submit button, and an exit button. Pretty simple cgi since you don't have to store anything on the server unless you wanted to log the sessions.



I wonder if all of us could find time to chat being from different parts of the globe? I like the fact that most everyone is from a different country, but timing might be a problem.
