Anyone want to work on a Java project together?
« on: October 16, 2005, 03:40:40 pm »
I was thinking an Instant Messenging Program or an Email program.

E-mail program in Java has been done.

The IM client/server hasn't though...

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

dMSN is a Java client capable of connection to ICQ, AIM, and MSN

No we're not talking about clients alone. We're talking about creating both the client and the server.
So, Instant Messenging program, Java, who wants in?
It would be a nice case of team development, something that is very important in many programming jobs.

Can you think of any unique features it would have? I don't think you can.

The server AND client would be available, free, open-source, and you could run them on any platform that supports Java.

Yeah, let's see any client and server that offers that.

Ok, so decentralized may be new, but not really the best idea. At least it's an idea; you have one thing over the competition. Now think of more things, or it'll generate less than 0 interest.

Linking the servers.

So, you're going to give people their free software to run on their servers, and somehow get them to link servers, then get other people to connect to yours? I don't see that working out at all.

It's actually quite possible.  I can see it happening assuming the server software is easy to install and maintain.  It would also have to be pretty lightweight.

If you have a friend that runs the server, he probably has a few friends that run it, and so on and so forth.  If you could get the ball rolling, so to speak, you could pretty easily make it an interconnected network.

I still see a missing gap with no centralized existance because there is going to be a disadvantage to people who have dynamic IP addresses that run servers, but it really shouldn't be to difficult to update... kind of like the DNS system... the server would have to update the other servers should it change an IP address and it would propagate throughout the system.

If I knew Java, I'd love to join this effort, but alas I do not.  If you get it rolling and decide to publicly release it, I'd love to work on a website for it.  :)

I think you guys should do it, it sounds like a neat idea!

We could include a part of the program that would tell no-ip.org to update an account.  Bam.  Dynamic IP's no longer a problem.  I'm beginning to like this.

Hehe, I think it would be a fun project.  The no-ip system kind of acts as a centralized network, which they're trying to avoid.  However, it doesn't play hardly any role in the system, so I don't see it being an issue.

Anyway, you guys shoudl do it! ^_^

Think of it like IRC networks... that's the best I can think of.

Except we can add circle links, whereas IRC can't. ;)

Do me a favor: stop putting people down because you can't think up anything original.

Guys, no offense, but I think this project is doomed to fail.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.
