I would love to lay my hands on the code and see what i can do with it. I
have coded quite a lot of java and most of it has been network stuff so that
is not new to me in any way. I also use java applications across
Un*x/Win/MacOS which is a plus if you want the client to be trully cross
platform.

I would however also like to see the source code made public. It doesnt need
to be GPL if the author doesnt want that, but having the sourcecode public
makes it possible for more than one developer to create his or her own
version of the client. That would benefit the users a lot since it will
speed up "evolution" when several versions "compete" with each other.

In any way, i would like to see the code. Can i please?
