Does anyone use the "Iconify on Away" plugin, or does it exist solely to confuse people every few weeks? -s. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: SourceForge.net <no...@so...> Date: Mar 6, 2007 10:43 AM Subject: [Gaim-forums] [gaim - Users Helping Users] buddy list minimizes automatically 2.0 0beta6 To: no...@so...

If nobody is actually using this plugin, and all it's doing is confusing people who loaded it because they don't know what "iconify" means, it's doing more harm than good. -s. |

I actually use the plugin. However, i would not be against it if you decided to remove the plugin from the default gaim build. That is to say, i would appreciate keeping the code around and current, but perhaps making it a --enable autoconf option. Frankly, i think the plugin name and description should be enough to keep people from enabling it, but perhaps if people are being confused by the name and description, then the problem could be solved there through renaming and clarification rather than complete removal of the plugin. -2 pennies from me to you |

This is exactly why we removed the hide-on-send plugin we had some time (some number of years ago now) ago. luke |

Perhaps we need some way to remind people about such features. I'm not sure when we'd do it, maybe on upgrade. Or maybe have a menu item that pops up a dialog reminding you of the stupid things you did, and have clicking on said menu item in the bug reporting guide lines. That may just cause people to complain about the reminders, and the same people who don't remember they turned on the Iconfy on Away plugin may also not read or follow bug submission guide lines. --Tim |

It does, however, shift the burden of support from Gaim to the Guifications team. At least for now, the plugin pack has relatively low visibility, and most of the plugin pack users have been better than the general Gaim user population in #gaim is and will actually read our documentation. I suspect this is in part due to us not advertising our IRC channel. Since many of the plugins in the plugin pack are stupid or pointless (by our own admission), and it sounds like a number of people think Iconify on Away fits into one or both of those categories, it sounds like a good fit to me.
