Emesene

I recently discovered a very nice MSN Messenger client for Linux: emesene. It supports pretty much of the most important MSN features (Custom emo's, DP's, file transers), although not yet that much as aMSN. But webcam support is added with one of the next beta's, and many other features will be added in the next releases too.

The nice thing is: it's written in python, and it uses the GTK library for the interface. That means it looks very nice on my Ubuntu distro. :) It also has a nice plugin system, so you can create your own plugins, to add extra features. Support for a lot of MSNPlus things for example is already included.

Since I discovered this messenger, I decided to pause the Levon project. Emesene is almost exactly what I had in mind for my messenger. I'd rather create some plugins for emesene, or submit some patches than completely reinventing the wheel.

Download emesene at http://www.emesene.org
It's also available in the ubuntu repo's.
