9 Gaim-Citadel is a plugin for Gaim that allows you to connect to the Citadel
10 groupware suite. It enables you to see who else is logged in to the Citadel
11 server, and to communicate with them via instant messages (pages in Citadel
14 Needless to say, you need Gaim to make this work. You also need access to
15 a Citadel server to connect to.
20 Gaim-Citadel depends on the following software:
22 gaim: currently, Gaim-Citadel only works on Gaim 1.5. It may work on
23 2.0, but it has not been tested.
25 lua 5.0: available from http://www.lua.org/download.html.
27 tolua 5.0: available from http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~celes/tolua.
29 Gaim-Citadel uses Prime Mover as its build tool. To build, do:
33 This will compile Gaim-Citadel and install it into your ~/.gaim directory.
34 The installation directory and other aspects of the build process are
35 configurable by editing pmfile; the configuration variables are defined

54 Citadel is commonly used for fairly small groups of people, all
55 of whom know each other. Setting this option causes everybody
56 seen on the Citadel server to be automatically added to your
60 The Citadel server protocol does not directly support
61 asynchronous presence updates. This means that Gaim has to repeatedly
62 poll the server to find out who's currently online. This setting
63 lets you control how often this happens (in seconds). For LAN
64 environments, 30 is probably appropriate. For servers across the
65 internet, leave it at 60 (the default).
70 Gaim-Citadel was written by me, David Given and is not officially endorsed by
71 the authors of the Citadel groupware suite. However, the best place to get
72 support is probably on the official Citadel Support forum. This can be found
73 on the Uncensored Citadel BBS. You can sign up for free by visiting:
