Anyone want to work on a Java project together?

Guys, no offense, but I think this project is doomed to fail.

Most projects are.  :)

I never said it was going to succeed.

All I said is that it had some great concept ideas.

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.

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

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

That's how it seemed to me, where you could run the server for yourself, or 'linked' (accepting unknown connections), like IRC. However, such a system would begin to become rather complicated, and supremely hard for the end user to establish. I just don't see the idea catching on with a ton of people. It's a very small niche market.

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

This was totally uncalled-for. Insulting me personally because of my creativity issues is not really the topic at hand here, I was just trying to give you real-world insite into the future of your wild hair. That, and trying to encourage you to come up with more ideas, since one new feature isn't something to base an entire [complicated] project from, especially in an old, dead subject as IM clients/servers.

Ok, lets do it!
I'm in, anyone else?

If you're saying that because you think we will have problems in organizing it...
well we could [democratically] elect a leader who is knowledgeable and good at OOP design.
He could assign us individually (or in pairs, if we have a lot of people) to creating certain components of the program.
This is just an idea, I'm not trying to take the lead, and I don't even want the lead (because I'm probably nowhere near the most knowledgeable here). Which isn't to say that I'm not capable of working on this project as a member; I've become well-read on Java and OOP =p

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.

UnrealIRCd + X-Chat.

I'm in.

Ok, fine. I meant an instant messaging network.

Sure. You have my contact info (<--). We'll have sex, I mean, get started this weekend, if that works for you.

Meany. =(

Well, no one else would like to try out this project?!
Come on join up!

This may be something iago is interested in, if you haven't, bring it to his attention.
