+<tr><td><p>Some protocols, notably MSN and Yahoo! support un-named chats, or conferences. To date, Gaim has had fairly poor support for this feature. Gaim treats this multi-user chats as normal named chats with the name "MSN Chat" for instance. Logs for these chats are not separated by users, and there's no way to easily add a user to a one-on-one IM to turn it into a group chat.</p>
+
+<p>Your goal this summer will be to design and implement an unnamed chat API in libgaim, figure out the details of properly logging them, and support the API in at least one client with support for easily turning a one-on-one chat into a group chat.</p>
