Lets Build A Plugin For AIM

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Today I am going to start by inviting all of you to join me in designing a plug-in. The deal is this: I am your developer. You tell me the features you want, and if I think I can do it, I will estimate the effort, design it, and make it happen. The end result, is a plug-in that we can all use and share. I hope that the effort can be concluded within 60 days. (Remember, I can only work on this in my spare time.)

The plug-in I propose to make is based on an idea that has been around for a while. I want to add the ability in AIM to let you paint on an image that you and your buddy can see in real-time.

Does this sound like a good idea? Remember this plug-in is for you. What would you do with such a plug-in? Draw lines? stamp icons? Write secret messages? What shall we name it?

Please leave your thoughts and ideas as comments. Maybe we can form a chat room and talk about this. Lets see how it goes. The floor is now open to you.

Thanks.
