HTML chat

Hi,

I have checked search results for: "html/xhtml/AdiumX'
and I've found
nothing interesting.

Qt4.4 has integrated WebKit browser/ html render.

7/12/19/qt-440-technical-preview-released/
* http://webkit.org/
* 
http://doc.trolltech.com/main-snapshot/qtwebkit.html

I would like to start developing Psi. I have made a few
patches for
Psi (a long time ago, when it was in the darcs repository)
but i
didn't submit them to mailing list (just simple/workaround
patches for
own use).

I want to make HTML chat ( http://psi-im.org/wi
ki/HTML_chat ) for psi.

1. WebKit is powerful rendering engine.
2. It's included in Qt4.4 (QWebView)
3. so we don't need kde-libs nor KHTML
4. just compare chat windows from screenshot on http://psi-im.org/ and
http://www.adiumx.com/screenshots/images/overvieworan
ge.jpg - psi
needs new look and feel.

As Kopete 0.12 has support for AdiumX chat styles and Adium
has a lot
of themes (http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=search&cat_id
=5) I
think it's good idea to use them instead of inventing new
format.

I am going to:
1. get through Psi source code, familiarize with
infrastructure
2. write alternative chat dialog (psi is (rather) not
memory
consuming, so IMHO user should have a choice what
(text-/html-based)
chat window type he want to use)
3. I am sure before I finish chat dialog prototype qt4.4
won't be
Technology Preview 
4. change configure scripts (--enable-html-chat will require
qt-4.4)

Any suggestions? Or maybe you don't want HTML chat?
Does anyone do this task?

Pawel 'senu' Wiejacha.

ps. I know my English is poor.

Thanks for wanting to help!

Be sure to read the guidelines posted to our wiki:
http://psi-im.org/wi
ki/Main_Page

Also, there is an HTML chat design doc, but I do not know
how recent
it is.  Please make a wiki account so you can contribute to
this page
in particular: http://psi-im.org/wi
ki/HTML_chat

I'll let one of the devs answer that.

It has - I've had a quick experiment with using it for Psi's
chat
rendering, and that works ok. I haven't tried importing
adium's
themes, and that's something which is worth looking at. Not
top of our
priorities while 4.4 is still unreleased, but if you had a
high-quality and secure patch ready for when it's released,
that'd be
great.

Best,
