Thanks too! It was wise to spend money on better development!!!

It worked!!! Other than the old clients!!! Nobody needs Debian!

Please change it to gconf!!!

I would prefer a integration in existing clients so as remmina... or vinagre - still!

I thought this is a fork - why are yu using their icon?

My thoughts about:

*store your work on launchpad!
*use the native client feature of chrome to have a webclient without needed of programming a plugin (it is easy and will run even on android phones)
*authenticate user with web2.0 sites like passport, openID or fbook
*stop talking to the old dev team - look forward and try to become compatible to nx(4?) again - their server is much better.

But it looks so much better so! Go on!
