What would be cool is the ability to add “plugins” for each XEP. For example, we could have a PubSub Plugin, a Multicast plugin… etc that would carry a nice GUI!

Hello,

quite interesting the swift thingie. I am using psi ever since. Please implement some kind of secure end to end encryption easily useable, even for non nerds in swift.

Best wishes, and thanks for the great work within psi.

[...] the last week since Remko announced Swift, people have shown far more interest than we’d been expecting, and have mostly been asking [...]

heh, I thought the Psi guys always said they were against the yet-another-xmpp-client projects?

While the current Psi may not be adapted to “common end-users”, the base seems pretty good and has been developed for quite a while! (And you know that so much better than me actually, I’m not a developer!! )

Why not making a friendly fork of Psi while sharing as many components as possible(XMPP library, etc.)?
It’s just a GUI “good-looking” and “ease to use” issue, right?

Remko, I think I don’t like you!!

You came up with such a message and let so many question open!!

I’m dying, caused by curiousness about swift!

Wohoo … thats astonishing. But if you say it’s for people who want to stay near at the XMPP protocol, it’ll be very interessting!

I’m very curious about the first release or any cvs, svn or git repository.
I guess it’ll be open source, isn’t it?

Usual one client should rule them all joke?:)

I guess it will have PEP capabilities

I guess for end users, a “shiny” client is needed… perhaps built with XUL or WebKit underneath? (I’d quote a well known… errgh… project manager: “Psi is ugly”.) Would be hard to do cross-platform shininess without HTML…

I think it can be a good thing if one (or two!) of the XMPP “core team” starts a client project…

But, please: first, look at the requirements of that user, start to analyse it in an as unbiased way as possible, perhaps even asking end-users (mother, sister, father, bus driver, grocery owner…), and do NOT start with thinking how would pubsub fit into a project… then it could be good
