Clay Shirky: Institutions vs. collaboration
Monday, July 14, 2008
This is a rather interesting talk that takes some very foundational ideas from open source software development, P2P networks, and social networking and implies that these paradigms can apply to a lot more.
Never argue with a fool, people might not know the difference.
Projects
User...MIA Instant...
MIA Screenshots
MIA is an open source, Windows instant messaging client written in C++ using MFC for both the average and advanced user. MIA currently supports the TOC protocol (AIM).
MIA is halted and is an incomplete client, although it does work. There are several things that would get me reinterested in this project and make it worth my time. I have actually been pondering restarting this project recently with several other programmers. Right now, MIA is nothing more than a small base. It needs a lot of work, but with the right people it could turn into a very nice little client.
Source code and some documentation.
MIA-0.0.1.zip, uploaded Tuesday, July 13, 2004
A compiled "release" version if you don't feel like compiling it yourself.
TOC1.0.zip, uploaded Tuesday, July 13, 2004
Some random documentation (this is all I used) to write this client for the TOC 1.0 protocol.

- Need to come up with features that will separate it from all the others.
- I need to have several (at least 2 or 3) active programmers working on it.
- It needs to be converted to a cross platform GUI (preferably wxWindows) before further development. I am very pro multi platform and I want it to work specifically for Linux.
- Knowledge of more protocols (probably one of the hardest things) needs to be gained for incorporation of multiple protocols.
