Hi

Sorry to post the message in issues. Couldn't see any other way to contact
except trying out the shown user name with a gmail ID which wouldn't be
good. I have been intending to write a C# based client for IPMessenger for
a long time. Infact, my vision had been to write a IPMsg+DirectConnect(file
sharing) combo client which would be quite useful at almost every LAN. I
was looking for some information on IPMsg protocol and stumbled across your
project. Your client seems to be in a good stage already. However, if you
are interested to have one more head involved in development, I would
certainly like to offer my contribution.
You may contact me on piyooshm at gmail

Regards,
Piyoosh Mukhija

Hi Piyoosh

Welcome to the peermessenger project! Actually, I started out wanting to 
replace 
IPMsg at the organization I used to work in. Don't ask me why. Maybe I just 
hated 
the shitty interface. Maybe I had too much time. The aim was to develop an app 
that 
would talk to and co-exist with IPMsg but at the same time switch to its own 
snazzy 
super functional XML based protocol (one which I never quite got to work ;)) 
when it 
saw another PeerMessenger on the other end. 

I was successful in so far as that PeerMessenger works very nicely with other 
IPMsg 
clients and even has functionality to support profile pictures and the nice 
"xyz is 
typing a message" thing going on in modern messenger. Unfortunately, that was 
around 
the time I quit the company I was working for and moved on to a place that was 
enlightened enough to use a slightly more modern (ahem!) messenger. 

As a result, I lost my test environment (not least to say my willing guinea pig 
colleagues) and a fair bit of the motivation. If you want to carry the project 
forward you are welcome to do so. I will help wherever I can and even code up 
any 
changes you like. Testing them however, is going to be up to you :D

Sorry that welcome note was so long. You're a "Project Member" now. Welcome 
aboard 
and happy coding :) It would be nice if you could have me peer review any 
changes 
before you commit (although that isn't quite necessary).

Arun
