pjaiku - a cross platform jaiku client

July 2nd, 2007

If you are a Jaiku user and you don’t like any of the other external alternatives (windows/mac clients) for your OS, or if you are a GNU/Linux user, pjaiku might be what you’re looking for. But beware: it’s still a very young project, and it’s on heavy development. There are no distro packages yet, so if you don’t mind solving it’s dependencies by hand and manually extracting it (you just have to extract and run), then it’s no big deal. On Ubuntu, you need the packages python-simplejson and python-qt4. And if you can help developing it (or at least package it), better yet.

By the way, I’ve tried using Jaiku with imified and anothr, but imified never really worked for me, and anothr is just…weird. The damned thing only updates when it feels like doing so, and having to type the command for reading new items every now and then, defeats the purpose.

And if you are a Jaiku user as well, here I am.

Oh and I almost forgot: thanks a lot to it’s sole developer for the attention he’s been paying to my suggestions :)
