client for Synchronous conferencing

History

A few years ago bartman started to work on a psyc client written in pike. Due to the lack of an good looking UI framework and enough time, the client never came over it's console based state. Since csYc is an aweful cool name, the idea of a "special, good looking and intuitive native PSYC client" never died.

In late 2007 I started developing csYc using Flex and Apollo. Great to build a fancy interface, but absolutly inappropriate for a client with one of its main features being embedded encryption. Since November 2007 csYc is undergoing redevelopment using C++ and Qt.
