Possible Linux client development?

[spydielives]

This is a repost from : http://getting-started.dreamwidth.org/20466.html

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?

FYI: Benzaiten is the Drivel client with cleaner code and more features, for those who were curious.

I've not been happy with any of the clients currently available for linux, I post everything on LJ & DW with the site post functionality.

Like zvi said, I think the most important is dealing with the Access/Subscribe split, and allowing crossposting (I'll be doing that for some months to come.)

Thanks for bringing this up!

Someone has already offered fub an invite code so that he can see what I was talking about when I mentioned supporting these two things directly. I really hope he takes the offer.
