Chicken of the VNC is a GPL'ed Open Source project, hosted at http://cotvnc.sourceforge.net. If you've been looking for something to work on, it might be your dealio, yo.
Some open tasks are: - Keychain integration
- Scaling views
- Syncing with other open source VNC viewers
- Fixing Tight encoding bugs
There are also non-programmer things that need doing.
Oh, and if you don't know what VNC is, it's a protocol that lets you control a remote computer locally, somewhat similar to Remote Desktop, Timbuktu, or whatever Apple calls their version. But VNC is open-source, and client/servers exist for just about any operating system you can imagine.

Are you guys talking about OSXvnc? If so, I've heard through the rumor mill that it's essentially been abandoned by its creator, but it's GPL, so someone could still pick up the project and move forward with it.
I've been using it for testing with no problems, though, and I've got a working StartupItem for it under Jaguar.
If it hasn't been abandoned, my apologies to the author - it's just an uncorroborated rumor.
And if you're talking about a different VNC server for OSX, then I really have no clue

I have it on fairly good authority that it is NOT abandoned, and that a new, much improved version is on the way after the author gets some time to fix some last-minute bugs...I had heard it would be out last week, but you know how these things are...

Good - then I should really contact the author to try to resolve a nasty bug in Tight encoding. I'm not sure whether it's in Chicken or in OSXvnc at this point.
Got a contact email for him/her?
