What Is Infusion?
Infusion is a
cross-platform communications environment which is designed to work with
the Citadel/UX Communications
Server. Infusion provides enterprise environments with a robust
communication and collaboration tool, which has a feel that most office
users are already familiar with (namely, Microsoft Outlook). It supports
e-mail messaging (and is even internet-ready!), live chatting between users,
popup sticky notes, and a shared contact list, currently. Many more features
are on the way!
The Citadel/UX Communications Server provides your enterprise with a powerful
communications system, which connects all of your employees (in the office
and on the road) to each other. Citadel/UX provides many similar features
to the Microsoft Exchange server, but does not cost a thing to run! For
more details, please go to the Citadel/UX
homepage.
Supported Platforms
Infusion will run on any platform to which libCxClient, Qt 2.2, and KDE 2.0 have
been ported to.
Latest Changes: (Release 0.61)
Improved DCOP communications layer in infusiond (The Infusion Daemon).
- Can now obtain folder index and message
list
- Can deliver messages via dcop
- Can load Sticky Notes via dcop
- Rewrote DCOP layer in a more KDE-standard
way (but the whole object schema for
infusiond still needs work...)
Improved user interface.
- Concentrated on making the WndMain::View
menu more functional.
- User Interface now saves the position and
visibility of every item in WndMain,
hopefully allowing users to customize
Infusion to meet their needs a little
bit better.
Removed KOrganizer code. Am working on
incorporating its KParts object... (Not
perfect yet)
Significantly improved operating speed.
- Many elements are cached, greatly
improving refreshes and other annoying
hangs in previous versions.
Cleaned up the code somewhat (still needs
plenty 'o work...)
Added more extensive cache management
subsystem, to help Infusion become MUCH more
responsive to general navigation. It isn't
perfect yet, and it may eat up gobs of
memory, but I hope that it eventually
proves to make Infusion work better.
Tried to make infusiond DCOP interface
compatible with as broad a range of 2.x
KDE systems as possible. This precluded
the use of the "long unsigned int" type
(at least, until I figger out what the
KDCOP construct for it is... ;)
Working on creating a rudimentary Contacts
list. This is much harder than it sounds!
Zounds! :)
Help Wanted!
If you wish to contribute to the Infusion project, I could use any help
you have to offer! Specifically:
Anyone have a good suggestion/design for the Infusion project homepage?
Looking for users to submit RPMS of Infusion for Linux (or binaries for any
platform, for that matter!)
E-mail me with any suggestions. :)
