Redbrick Wishlist

This is Redbrick wishlist of projects that could do with coding.

Replacement for hey

Er, without some kind of requirements, it's hard to understand why this is needed? What are you thinking of here? -- Pooka
How about "Addition" to hey, or an alternative framework to allow heys to be sent to different places (web, MSN/AIM window) -- Kpodesta
Maybe build it on top of jabber then we could hey people on other servers/networks (including google talk etc ) -- kyper

Currently under development by art_wolf (PHP), link (perl) and Shimoda (Java). -- JohnDoyle - 20 Jul 2005

threading
ability to view only unread posts in group
ability to view all posts in group
two way sync of read posts (post read on web marked as read in slrn,posts read in slrn marked read on web)
displays only groups you are subscribed to in slrn
basic rot13 support
article posting
article canceling
newsgroup search (support lucene syntax)

Useful features implemented upon request to link

For instance Flin/Flash or a seperate app, in java or c++. Shimoda suggested an app and have tabs to chat, the boards, heys etc. -- JohnDoyle - 20 Jul 2005
If there's going to be a seperate app it should not be in favour of flin/flash but a seperate interface, again. I think a full web solution would cover a GUI but if people are interested in a seperate GUI then fire ahead with it. More options == better in the end of the day. -- Halenger
A java interface would be nice, perhaps a java program, tabbed, that opens 4 connections; slrn, irssi, and 2 terminals, one for heys, one 'standard' rb commands. Is there a wrapper for putty's SSH library? -igy
