  43 Well, I can't speak for anybody else here but I'll give you my opinion.
  44 See, Services are more of a program to serve on IRC.  When you start
  45 tacking on crap like a java client, you are extending them beyond their
  46 designed purpose.  for one, to have a useful java client you'd most likely
  47 want to get it signed.  So now you're talking about having Services serve
  48 signed java out via a web server, which I presume you want to also be built
  49 into services?  It is a waste.  Go buy jIRC, javirc, or use eirc.  That is
  50 their designed purpose.
  51
  52 As for registering nicknames via a web interface, this will be possible
  53 if/when Services have MySQL support in them.  My network, SlashNET, has
  54 already built a rather comprehensive website based on live IRC data and
  55 Services database data (<A HREF="http://www.slashnet.org/">http://www.slashnet.org/</A>).  It isn't really hard to
  56 do it *outside of services* if you know what you are doing and have the
  57 time to do it.
