Description:
Koinkoin will be mostly useful for french users.
But first, a little history.
At the beginning was the Web. Then came Linux, and
Slashdot came with it. This is when a small group
of french OSS users/coders created Linuxfr, sort
of a french Slashdot.
It had one killer-feature : a web-based chat (1).
It is web-based but also has an xml file that is
called 'backend' file. A first application
appeared that could display and automatically
reload that backend. It allowed posting too.
Then other of these chats and other clients
appeared. Those clients were called 'coincoins',
referring to the sound made by a duck in french. I
told you this was almost a french thing :-)
Koinkoin is a coincoin for KDE.
