Re: [Gaim-cabal] Names

[Sean E. <sea...@gm...>]

So, domain names. http://pidgin-im.[com|org|net] seems reasonable. It
reminds me a bit too much of Miranda, though.

Luke says that .im domains go for 40 pounds/yr; I wouldn't mind paying
that out of my own pocket. pidgin.com is squatted; we could see how
much they want.

Someone above mentioned purplepidgin.com. We could play on the homing
pidgin thing and grab homingpidgin, messengerpidin, carrierpidgin or
something.

I think pidgin-im is probably the best choice.
