I agree, this app has a long way to go and I would even question the release of it, given its inferior quality compared to Gaim and Kopete. I compiled from source and ran it myself. As disappointed as I was in the quality and lack of feature, people should know that Yahoo made the offer.

I found it ironic that someone who has no investment in Linux would cross the Windows line instead of someone who was. That's all. Let's see where they go with it. If it remains in its present state for a long period, then pass the towel. Helios will wipe the egg from his face, I say we tip our hat to Yahoo for extending the olive branch. I haven't found any thorns on it yet.

Thorns in an Olive branch? Wow, now that's genetic engineering at the highest level.

No, I think I will pass. Just curious where are they growing and what's the food source they leach?

I have them growing over at slashdot. LOTS of nutrients for them there.

You got that all wrong, they might look like and be as physically active as mushrooms but some of them are real people. Get a grip, and a basket or two. I hear that on charcoal grilled steak they are quite tasty.
