Your goal is to compare what gaim does at a protocol level with what the official winicq client does, figure out where it differs, and to repair Gaim's implementation, extending Gaim's capabilities where possible.</p></td></tr>

+<p> Some of the ideas listed for gaim-text may be too small to be considered for an SoC project. You may want to bundle a few together for a proposal. Also, it'd be really quite nice if you come up with new ideas of your own.</p>
