Description: Koinkoin will be mostly useful for french users.
But first, a little history.
At the beginning was the Web. Then came Linux, and Slashdot came with it. This is when a small group of french OSS users/coders created Linuxfr, sort of a french Slashdot.
It had one killer-feature : a web-based chat (1). It is web-based but also has an xml file that is called 'backend' file. A first application appeared that could display and automatically reload that backend. It allowed posting too.
Then other of these chats and other clients appeared. Those clients were called 'coincoins', referring to the sound made by a duck in french. I told you this was almost a french thing :-)
Koinkoin is a coincoin for KDE.
(1) http://linuxfr.org/board/Last changelog:
-- 0.3.1 -- * The configuration is stored into ~/.kde. * The board and plugins are restored. * The custom boards are fully managed in the dialog box. * Original english labels updated.
How to set my pseudo in your application ???
I have created un pseudo Id in moule room but I cannot use this pseudo in your application.
ALWAYS koinkoin..
The authentication is not yet managed by koinkoin. As it uses KIO, you need to login on the web site using Konqueror (and accept the cookie of course).
However, most boards allow anonymous reading and posting.
It would be nice if the project site had an english section. Those of us who don't understand the language are left in the dark and aren't able to properly inform themselves about the project. I visited the project site and due to it not having a section in a language I'm able to read I didn't even bothered to download and test the program. And it's a shame because it seems very interesting.
I know.
The point is that the boards are 95% french, the only known exception beeing http://www.x.org/board/. And when I started, I didn't though I would post here someday :-)
I'll try to make an english version, but I can't promise when.
