Hi Guido,

thank you! Of course I found wall when googling, but I didn't find a solution 
to display wall messages to a Desktop user. Your xwrited seems to be a good 
solution.

I tried to clone it with hg clone, hg clone --insecure and git clone hg:: but 
neither worked with the url https://hg.guido-berhoerster.org/projects/xwrited, 
also with just http.

And the download link to the last version doesn't work on https://code.guido-berhoerster.org/projects/xwrited/#downloads.

Maybe you'd like to switch to git instead of mercurial? :-)

Do you know whether anybody already started a package for Debian?
