I've taken over this project after the old developer vanished. His code is still here in a branch, but I'm starting from scratch because he used a GUI framework that make the client usable only on linux (maybe in Cygwin on Windows).

Made my first real commit today, so far so good.
The reason my work is going to slowly is that I'm having to develop on a linux laptop with 512 MB of RAM (512 MB RAM + Eclipse (with Descent) = epic swap usage). My desktop that I would use for coding runs 64 bit Arch Linux, and I can't build GDC because it won't build against the latest GCC, and I can't use DMD because there's no 64 bit linux binary (when I last checked).
I'm working on getting everything up and running using LDC, and I'm currently working on getting DSSS to build. From there, I get to build DWT, then I'm all set. Things will speed up quite noticeably once I can work on a decent computer.

Okay, I haven't forgotten about this project, but I got more than a little frustrated when DWT didn't work like I wanted it too. Fortunately, I'm really thinking that I don't want or need the framework I was working on, and that I'd much rather just get more implemented server side and get a basic text client working.
I still aim for a DWT client, but I'm going to get the server up to scratch first. It'll probably be a few days before I can get working on this again because I'm in the middle of a major project.
