Internet & Networking "Luke Schierer started using Pidgin (then known as Gaim) in 1999, not long after its first release. He officially joined the project in 2001, after being on the IRC channel and helping out for a few several months. He is now one of the core developers. Somewhere between his full time job working with Linux clusters and his time spent developing Pidgin, he finds time to tell PC World about his life, open source and Pidgin."

Protocol Icons

I am still amazed they don't see/understand the desire to have different icons for each protocol. I want to be able to glance at my list and see who is on what network. Maybe I'm invisible but I see a friend I want to IM. Well you can't IM someone on MSN if you're invisible but if you're on Yahoo you can.

Also, file transfers work on one network but not another so I need to know what network they're on to know what my capabilities are.

Lastly, I'd kill for webcam support.
