Who says this is dead? Development is just really slow, that's all.
Yeah, I don't plan to let this die.
I'm going to be moving very soon, and after that I'll be ready to start working.
For now my family haven't been doing anything moving since it's the holidays.
Edit: If you'd like to know what has been worked on so far, I've made some progress with a python chat server.
It'll accept any connections from a user that has been authed, and currently a chat room works.
Right now, I'm working on making it so a user can kick another user, and ban them.
Next after will be a friends system, and joining.
It'll work similar to RTB Connect, except a room system will be created, and allow a user to manage it.
