For the development and expansion of the Palace Chat Community in the area of open source beginning with finishing the abandoned work on the palace client for linux, Linpal. It is the intent of this project to revive a once great chat community and bring not only new life, but new concepts, to the Palace Chat Community through a completely open source platform. The Linux Palace Chat Client was being developed by Steven Grafton under the GNU GPLv2 up till 2004. Since 2004 no work has been done on Linpal (except a small recent modification to allow it to compile under newer linux distributions) and the programs developer has not responded to quarries. His project on sourceforge.net has been abandoned since 2004. It is the intent of this group to finish the development on the existing Linpal along the outlines of the original project, then to go further by including new features, porting to Windows and Mac OS, and developing server side plug-ins to enhance the usability of the Palace Chat Program. This program will remain under the GNU GPL and welcomes all comments, suggestions, and additions. The source code will be made available here, as well as at palaceplanet.net.
