I’m hosting a server for the while being for some (another) software I wrote for Messenger. The name should already tell you what it’s for. Feel free to submit issues, suggestions etc.
Also I wanted to point out something. I planned to make a Messenger Plus Script for it. But since MessengerPlus didn’t want at the point of making an UI I scrapped it.
It can but I said, additional information outside of Messenger. Things like Language (might be able to auto detect) and Gender. and a bunch of other stuff if users request that.
Well, as you said, it could automatically detect the language of the conversation history file.
But for gender, what if the script compares the name (if any real name is available) to a global database of names with their associated gender? Maybe that would work but we would need to find that database first, and then deal with made up names and it would be a hassle, but I’ll leave the idea here…
I know, I just dropped the idea here in case in the future we figure out an easier way to achieve this
What’s the window for? I meant the script could send the contact data directly to the server and the latter would be responsible for processing and putting everything in a nice table of something
This looks like a really useful tool to be brought to the Escargot community. Maybe even one of the most useful tools yet.
I have seen too many people getting excited for MSN coming back, going through the work of downloading and installing it, just to feel unmotivated afterwards due to the lack of contacts on their list. Since it’s still a growing community, the more contacts you have the better, as you have a larger pool of people in which you can find individuals that you actually like to talk to =D
If there is a possibility to somehow import all the contacts that have already been made available through Contacts sharing threads in MessengerGeek such as these (1, 2, 3), the list will get bigger pretty quick. Would there be a way to sort the list by Language, so people can easily add others that speak their idiom? Having a “sort by last logged in” would be really useful aswell.
