O.P. AutoStatus/NickMem/QuickAway -> Proxy Add-on (like MD)
Three of these are work in progress (NickMem is a release).
What I was thinking I could do with these is wrap them up into a program similar to MessengerDiscovery. This is motivated by a few things:
1. Not wanting to have too many software projects to maintain.
2. Have to think of less names ;)
3. NickMem suffers from buggy Messenger API implentation for MSNMsg.
4. \slap would be a more intuitive command than /xslap I think (the \ is to prevent conflicts with Plus's / commands and MD's ! commands).
5. Much more stuff would be possible (don't worry, I won't duplicate features ;)).

Of course, this would mean having quite a complex mix of stuff, best represented in a picture:

I'd also have to deal with users that don't have MD or Plus, though users with them may benefit from more features.

Don't worry: I won't be abandining the Plus plugin architecture. I don't think I'll be incorporating my sound plugins into such a proxy (the full download would be massive), and other stuff may be easier as a plugin.

I could also add an API of my own, though that could encourage people to make plugins that require Plus, MD and my own project.

I can see this becoming a big task already... and I'd need to learn how to make an API in VB, including events.

Anyway, after reading all of that, what do you guys think?

And yes, the image was done with Visual Paradigm for UML.

Update: Slapper will not be included in Project RP (working title). Slapper is easier as a plugin.
