[gui-talk] Clisk, the Command Line Interface for Skype

[Doug Lee]

honestly, I usually assume my clinging to CLI stuff is unusual enough
that my work to make such things possible will be useless to
advertise.  In Skype's case though, we have three platforms:  Windows
with accessibility but frequently recurring learning curves, Mac with
accessibility to some but not all elements, and Linux with no
accessibility to my knowledge.  It was news from the Linux camp of
Clisk being their only means of access that led me to advertise Clisk
with more of a horn blast than a whisper. :)

for 12 years now, I still come up against that straight jacket of an 
interface that won't allow me to do anything I used to do on unix.
I'll probably go grab doug's interface.
Thanks.

Doug,

Thanks so much.  I just downloaded and installed it today and have had some
fun with it.  Works great!  I've been disappointed with Skype 4 because it
seems to me they've made a number of actions more difficult to perform even
with your very helpful scripts for version 4.  .  Now with Clisk I'm finding
it easier and more enjoyable to use Skype again!


Wow, there's really lots that can be done through the Skype API!
Brian
