Linux client

[spydielives]

My apologies if this is not the best place to post. Redirect me if there is a better community?

I have been working with fub, testing his linux client called Benzaiten for LJ. On a whim, I tried it with Dreamwidth and it worked as a basic client.

I asked fub to make some changes so he could support Dreamwidth as well as LJ, and his reply was:

I don't have a dreamwidth account, so I don't know what you are talking about in your other feature requests. :P

My questions are:

1) Is there already a full-fledged linux client? If so, could someone point me to it?

2) If not, is there enough support here that I should continue to nudge fub to work on Benzaiten? What kinds of features would be nice? What should be left off?

ETA: I have reposted this over on linux4all. Thanks everyone!

linux4all might be a good place to post.

There isn't a Linux client for DW specifically. I use LogJam sometimes, but I don't like it much.

Thanks. I will repost over there. I am still discovering all the communities around.

I'm using Drivel. I don't know about features because I don't really use them and mostly post from the web anyway. It works for DW, though.

Benzaitan is Drivel with cleaner code and more features.

[zing_och]

Ah, cool! I'll have to check it out then.

[spydielives]

Please do. I get the sense that the more encouragement fub receives, the more he will want to work on the project. Not that I have any sort of... you know... interest in pushing him or anything.
