Re: [Gaim-devel] Re: OSD plugin for gaim initial state.

[George K. <geo...@ya...>]

Hi,

When I've last tried the CVS version of gaimosd it
wasn't compiling on my gaim distribution. I don't see
the need for such a good ammount of code for such a
simple purpose. That was my motivation on having the
plugin re-implemented.

As for the multitude of plugins doing the same in
several different ways IMHO it's not a bad thing :-) 
As long as the SourceForge guys are kind enough to
provide such a easy way of hosting open source
projects the community will only benefit from such
variety ...
IMHO until the GAIM people take over that
functionality (and standartize it this way) we may see
even some more to come.
Until then I'll try keeping my plugin as simple as
possible - to allow easy Gaim API change accomodation
and low footprint.

Best Regards,
George Kodinov.
