Java AIM, ?AIVA?

[squirellplaying]

It's that time again, the time of no school and 2 months of 5 hours a day of programming(on average depending how late I stay up; don't program when the sun shines)! This year I decided to have a gander at making my own AIM client which makes use of the OSCAR protocol. I've started to do my research on the protocol and look at the source code for GAIM(written in C but same basic principle). Probably won't be programming for atleast anouther week. Just so much to read on it.

I would like to invite anyone who has knowledge of the OSCAR protocol or Java if they want to help.

i don't know if this topic has been looked at in ages, but myself and a friend of mine have been interested in doing this exact same thing for some time now (but obviously never took the initiative to do it) and if you truely plan to code this, i would absolutely love to help out any way i can and will speak with the friend of mine to see if he will be interested. i have been a java programmer for around 3 and a half years and would be more than willing to devote some time to this and i co-own a web server and would be willing to host a website and file dump for the project if we were to go open source and file with sourceforge or something of the sort. please shoot me an email if you are interested ... thanks for your time.

I want to do this but I can't find anyone who's worked with the oscar protocol at all, which is the thing holding me back right now. I've done research of the Joust (http://joust.kano.net/joscar/) project.
