i am very intrested in the ability of msn messanger for xmbc.
i have great ideas. reading the documentations and the start seems sort easy to do the basic.
if i time to develop it i would lookin to it.
at the moment i am in of making of an irc client called irc-x.
when i am finshed or get free time with that project. i will look into this one.
features i had in mind
- for chatting - use a full screen window.
- for the buddy/friend/contact list i had in mind a
- alerts - popoing up in the bottom corner, like how the xlink chat does.
- use bitplanes skin reader for the stuff - maybe later once it works.
- use bitplanes py9 dictinary for sms/ remote text- low priority)
- for options - use full screen window and a listbox. to change screen name/nick - (low priority)
- auto replacement of words or entire scences. eg k being okay or
1 replaced wih hello, what you been doing? , - this could be achived by using a txt file and before the message is send check the words in the sentces with the list.
- sound support playing alert sounds etc.
i think i may draw up a gui plan another day and let you know.
i just wanted to post some ideas.
i reckon if we/i/someone starts this they should create the gui first then add the msn code. because then it could be reused as
python aim.
i have done a little coding and thats all. don't get too happy.

good devleping tip: make sure it works with emulator, saves a lot of time.
does xbmc support being able to play two sounds at once
