ebnc - ncurses UI for eb-lite
-----------------------------

eb-lite is Meredydd Luff's rewrite of Everybuddy (www.everybuddy.com) as a
back-end only, communicating with UIs through a specially-created protocol.

ebnc is intended for people wanting to use eb-lite through a terminal (in an
SSH session for example), and is still incomplete, experimental, and under
heavy development.

Supported features of ebnc :
* reading a local server's cookie file (including port) for easy connection
* signing on or off all accounts
* viewing contact list with online/offline status
* per-contact conversation windows

Supported features of eb-lite, not implemented in ebnc yet :
* adding and removing of local accounts
* full recursive preferences page support (including the account editor)
* setting local account status
* adding and removing of groups, contacts, and buddy accounts
* renaming and moving of contacts, and moving of accounts
* away support, with auto-response
* ignoring contacts, with auto-response
* group chat


Building :

Running :
If you use a local server, 'make run' will take the cookie
 $HOME/.everybuddy/authcookie
You can specify your own cookie typing 'ebnc <cookie>'
