[Gossip-dev] Using xchat-gnome's UI for gossip chatrooms

Hi,

Not entirely sure which parts you had in mind and haven't looked on  
xchat-gnome. However, my memory from looking at XChat a few years ago  
is that the code quality was quite low. This could have changed since  
then and maybe even more in xchat-gnome.

I'm not sure which would be the least work, to add the missing  
features to the current implementation or to try to incorporate xchat- 
code into Gossip.

However, I think that Xchat will always want to be more IRC specific  
(unless it is also going multi-protocol) than Gossip can/will be so  
to me it would make sense to keep XChat next to Gossip on a desktop  
rather than merge them into one application.

Best Regards,
   Mikael Hallendal
