SSL i can do with Winapi...
And google only needs SSL for login, from then on it's normal HTTP.
BTW, google protocols are the best i've seen, very simple and straight forward!
A google talk messenger would be very nice to have!!!

google talk (jabber/xmpp) uses ssl for the whole connection, or so it seems on my computer

sounds good - especially the audio stuff.....
but if the bit that connects to the XMPP server doesnt support unicode, or doesnt support jabber servers (jabber and xmpp servers are slightly different), then i would be no good for that part, but i was planning to get libjingle added in eventualy
and did anyone happen to spot this bit of my previous post?

I wrote a decent AIM client in PB4 that I haven't touched in months. It supports normal IMs, chats, away messages, profiles, tabbed windows, all the basic stuff. (The buddy list management is super limited but we're focusing on the protocol for now right?) If you guys are interested I can upload it.
Edit: the downfalls - no buddy icons, no direct connect, no file sending or any of that, messages are displayed as plaintext, and it is Windows only due to a lot of API use...

can u put it in a zip file and send it to the email address mentioned above? (unless u want to do the AIM/ICQ protocol bits in the project?)
and:
I FINALLY DID IT! I LOGGED INTO THE MSN SERVER USING MSNP8 AND PB4!!!!!!!! (and its only 148 lines or so....)
I would have done it sooner, but i was using an incorrect flag value with wininet, so the https login bit wasnt being sent right.......
the code needs a bit of cleaning up tho..... (but that can come later)

when my broadband gets connected in a few days, i'll make a wiki on my server so we can get started on some planning.
has anyone got any experience with administrating wikis?
and would MediaWiki be good for this? (or can u not edit the nav bar?)

Here's my client with source
My two references for the AIM protocol are
http://simpleaim.sourceforge.net/docs/TOC.txt for most of the protocol and
http://snaphat.com/toc2 for a few updated functions.

Jabber is the most logic step, since jabber lets the messenger to comunicate with most networks.
I have some experience to Jabber BUT from VB.
Is there any idea how to use it from PB? If some shows a starting point, we could develope it in PB.

sounds good, but skinning has to be optional, maybe chosen during install
