But for the most part, gaim +is not mission-critical software, and if you can help us find a few bugs +before we release, all the better. (Also, CVS tends to be more stable +than releases, since we get 10 or 12 bug reports right after we make a +release, and all those bugs are fixed within a day or two usually.)

Their name will be next to the protocol; +they're the people to complain to when something doesn't work ;). + + +TOC (Rob) +=== + +You shouldn't use TOC, you should use Oscar instead. TOC can sync your +buddy list with the server (if it's not too long), and can respond to file +transfer requests (both sending and receiving). Other than that, there's +nothing it can do that Oscar can't, yet. The TOC protocol doesn't allow +retrieval of away messages; isn't capable of sending or receiving buddy +icons; it also can't make file transfer requests. + + +Oscar (Eric) +===== + +Oscar is the default protocol. It is recommended that you use Oscar for +both AIM and ICQ, as TOC isn't very featureful and the old ICQ protocol no +longer works. + +For AIM, Oscar can get people's away messages. It can request and accept +Direct IM connections, but it cannot yet transfer files through this (or +through any other means). It can send and receive buddy icons if you have +GdkPixbuf. + +For ICQ, it supports nearly everything that the old ICQ plugin supported, +which isn't much. To use Oscar for ICQ, enter your ICQ UIN as the +screenname. The default host/port will work. + + +Yahoo (Eric) +===== + +Yahoo is currently using the new YMSG protocol that newer official Yahoo +clients are using. This protocol is much better than the old one, and +tends to be somewhat more reliable. However, the Yahoo service is still +flaky at best. Group chats aren't supported yet. + + +IRC (Eric) +=== + +There are three ways to join an IRC chat room. The first is the File->Join +A Chat menu option in the Buddy List window. The second is the "Chat" +button at the bottom of the buddy list. The third is to type "/join #name" +in an IM window where the "Send Message As" menu is set to your IRC +account. There are other / commands that work in IM and Chat windows for +IRC, /help will give you a list of them. + + +MSN (Eric) +=== + +With MSN you can join a conversation with several people, but you can't +invite people from the IM window yet. + + +ICQ (Eric) +=== + +The ICQ plugin is deprecated and will probably be removed soon. The +protocol only marginally works. You should use Oscar for ICQ. + + +Jabber (Eric) +====== + +Transports aren't currently supported at all, though if you have a +transport already subscribed Gaim will use it (you can't add or remove +transports though). In order to use a server other than jabber.org, set +your username to include the server, e.g. war...@my.... This +is the actual format of the Jabber ID anyway; Jabber is email with online +notification. + + +Napster (Rob) +======= + +Heh. Ok, so I (Rob) am on crack! Gaim can sign on/off of Napster, +add/remove people to your hotlist (buddylist) as well as chat privately +and in chat rooms. You can search for files and browse a list of other +user's files. You can currently download files as long as the person +you're retrieving files from is not firewalled. + + +Zephyr (Eric) +====== + +Let me start off by saying how much I really despise Zephyr. They do a +lot of things that make me realize why this never caught on. For those +of you who are unfortunate enough to feel compelling need to use this, +gaim now has a Zephyr plugin. It can currently sign on/off, handles +presence/buddy lists (it even imports your .anyone file!), and can +send/receive personal messages. A lot of stuff is missing, this is just +a real rough first stab at it. + + +Gadu-Gadu (Eric) +========= + +I really shouldn't be taking credit for Gadu-Gadu, I'm just the person who +commits the patches that Arkadiusz Miskiewicz gives me. Gadu-Gadu is an IM +system most similar to ICQ that is quite popular in Poland. It can manage +your server-side buddy list through the Protocol Actions menu.
