Presentation
iXQ is a new ICQ Client for MacOS X. It is developed in Objective-C and it implements the new protocol of AOL, OSCAR (ICQv7). The project currently supports most basic icq features such as standard and URL messaging, history, and contact list management.

If you know some Objective-C programming and if you're interested in helping the project, contact starman,the lead programmer. If you don't, you can always contribute ideas, chat about the interface, or help design icons.

Objectives
We are in the process of totally rewriting the iXQ ICQ client because of fundamental threading problems in the old code base. The aim of this page is to keep you informed of the development. We hope you will help us improving it, by sending feature requests, and bug reports.

First, you can discover here iXQ with a quick tour showing off its basic functions (warning, big images ~80k each).
Second, you can grab the latest build (SP10) here. You can then create a new iXQ Document with your old account and import your contacts from Mirabilis Icq, Gerry and Fire ("Add Users" in the contextual menu in the bottom of the contact list), or create a totally new account.
Then you can contact us here to give your feedback.
