I've got a crash I'm fairly sure is new to 2.x on Get Info of certain Jabber contacts... Crashes when executing 'Get Info' on contacts without Node Identifier in JID: http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/4686 Not 64-bit.. but seemed relevant. |

Didn't I hear something about AOL having some kind of trademark on that too? Or at least it's two-thirds of AIM. If we're going to register the domain pidgin-im.[com|net|org|im], maybe we should mention that explicitly in the agreement? Or have the lawyers said anything specific about the term "IM"? --Tim |

Just FYI, the lawyers did a more thorough check on Pidgin. They found this: A self-learning cross lingual interface based at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, but some of the links are broken and the site hasn't been updated since 2003: http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/Projects/pidgin.html Fotopages, a photo sharing site, appears to be run by a company called Pidgin Technologies Ltd, though they seem to be focusing on the Fotopages name. I don't see any social networking or chat components here. http://pidgintech.fotopages.com/ Pidgin Productions, "Producers Integrated Development Group, Initiatives and Network", is a non-profit in England focused on promoting cultural diversity in moving image media http://www.pidgin.org.uk/ Pidgen ML is a core subset of the Objective Caml programing language: http://www.inria.fr/rapportsactivite/RA2005/signes/uid40.html The Pidgen Compiler is a retired tool of Cornell University's Computer Science Department's Intelligent Software Systems: http://iss.cs.cornell.edu/p.aspx None of these projects are considered a bar from us using the name Pidgin. -s. |

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. -s.

I'm working with Stephen Garrity to find someone who can update our webpage (he's too busy to do it himself, unfortunately). When Luke gets back, we should start talking about the tools we want to run on pidgin.im. -s. |

I personally think shorter domain names are particularly attractive and effective. pidgin.im would get my vote. Do you have a 501(c)3? I'd even donate that much or more if I could get the tax deduction. Warren Togami wt...@re... Sean Egan wrote: > So, domain names. http://pidgin-im.[com|org|net] seems reasonable.
