GOIM is a full featured jabber / XMPP client with special features (extensions) for gamers. (e.g. broadcasting a notification when you join a server.. and see which games others play and join them with one click on the game icon beside their name)
GOIM uses the Eclipse Rich Client Plattform as GUI and SMACK as its jabber library.
You can also use GOIM InsideEclipse IDE.
GOIM is still in an early Beta Stage, which means it may contains bugs and misses features.
Main features:
- Send information about which game is played on which server (This is done by sending a presence with extended information. The information which game on which server will also be visible in the show part, so even people using another client (or icq/msn/..) will see what/where you are playing.
- Current supported games are: Unreal Tournament 2004, Live for Speed, Americas Army, TeamSpeak 2 (not a game, but works the same way)
- Basic Messenging and Presence
- Discover and subscribe to Jabber transports (which allows communication with icq, msn, aim, etc. users)
Enhancements:
- This release includes two new plugins - the InGame Messenger for DirectX 8 games, as well as the GameServer Browser which allows you to query HLSW server lists.
In addition there were many other fixes and enhancements:
- Usability fixes for linux and macOS (including a new chat window which does not use the Browser widget and therefore does not rely on any platform dependent features)
- Added support for jabber File Transfer
- Commands used to launch a game can now be customized
- Fixed bug when autojoining MUC rooms on connecting.

Yafumato Web Messenger is a Web-based instant messenger client. Users can connect to supported instant messenger services using only a Web browser via HTTP (or HTTPS).
The Yafumato server connects to the messengers by proxy and provides the Web interface to the user, allowing instant messaging from computers where a desktop client cannot be used.
Yafumato Web Messenger is currently alpha software; as such, it has minimal error handling and is not feature complete.
Enhancements:
- The database is now an optional package; users can now login using messenger credentials rather than single sign-on using the database.
- Messenger session handling has been improved; any active messenger sessions are restored upon signin.
- Unstable messenger sessions can be disconnected and replaced using the new "Reset Messenger" link on the status page.

Devel::Messenger is a Perl module who let your code talk to you.

SYNOPSIS

use Devel::Messenger qw{note};

# set up localized subroutine
local *note = Devel::Messenger::note {
output => print,
level => 2,
pkgname => 1,
linenumber => 1,
wrap => ["< !--", "-- >n"],
};

# print a note
note "This is a sample noten";

# print a multipart note
note "This is line two. ";
note "continue", "This is still line two.n";

# print if level is high enough
note 2, "This is debug level twon";

Do you want your program to tell you what it is doing? Send this messenger into the abyss of your code to bring back to you all the pertinent information you want.

First, set notes in your code, in-line comments that start with note instead of #.

# this is an in-line comment (it is boring)
note "this is a note (things start getting exciting now)n";

To keep your program from giving you terrible errors about note not being defined, give it something to do.

use subs qw{note};
sub note {}

Or you could import the slightly more powerful note subroutine defined in Devel::Messenger.

use Devel::Messenger qw{note};

By itself, note does not do anything. Right now, all it is doing is making sure Perl doesnt give you an error message and die.

Vista-Inspirate provides a Vista-looking icon pack for KDE and Gnome.

This is an icon theme based on my other theme "nuoveXT" and "Windows Vista".

It is strongly recommended to have NuoveXT (1.5) installed to use this theme, simply because it inherits it (all mimetypes for instance).
