So, now I've refound the source I started months ago, I've started XurbleZilla, which is a Mozilla-based client for xurble, an open source java-based bulletin board/instant messenger thing.
It's intended to finally be a sidebar application using Mozilla's native widgets (XUL), installable from the web, so you can use xurble whilst browsing, etc.
It's not up yet, but there _will_ be a xurblezilla webpage.
hooray me.
