Two largeish developments in the world of Psi today.

Firstly, Remko Tronçon has just been elevated to the heady heights of the official development team. What this means is mostly just that he’s gotten recognition for the outstanding work he’s done for the project. He’ll still continue to code in the same manner he has to this date. His previous and continuing efforts include work on ad-hoc commands, growl popups, avatars, and various other things that haven’t made it into a Psi release yet for assorted and disinteresting reasons. He’s also responsible for the Mac build scripts, and is our official Mac packager. All hail Remko. I’ve had it on good authority that he doesn’t intend for his new-found fame to go to his head, and as soon as we’ve finalised on a new iconset for 0.10 consisting of himself in various facial expressions signifying degrees of presence, he’ll be returning to work for us.

Secondly, I’ve committed a patch for Growl support (written by Remko). For anyone who doesn’t know, Growl’s a very pretty OS X notification system, looking something like the below screenshot (again courtesy of Remko).
