[crossfire] Text based client, "stifling" conversation, ancient history

[Bob Tanner]

A very long time ago, I started a text based "client". The noise on the forums 
about a text based client has made me dig the code back out.

The whole thread of stifling the conversation also brought back some ancient 
history about having a text based client so people (Leaf) have a light client 
for being logged in metalforge to monitor PKers, etc.

After finding everquest, they have a pretty cool idea, eqim, it's an IM client 
for talking/monitoring in game communications/channels/etc.

I think with a little work the beginnings of the text client I have could be 
wrapped into an IM-like client.

Question, make a plugin for kopete or a plugin for jabber?

Or would something hacked onto xchat be better?
