Pardon me if this is a FAQ, but I looked and didn't see anything.
Is there any functionality planned for the Find a Buddy by common interest options in the Windows and Mac clients? Or for selecting common interests for yourself?
Thanks,
Aaron

Officially, it's the dream of the development team that TiK be able to do everything that AIM can do and more. The reality is that I don't know of anyone working on that feature nor anyone that plans to anytime in the near future.
However, if enough people reply to this, maybe one of us can be convinced that it's worthwhile to get this running sooner rather than later. . .

Well, I'm a passable coder, but I know nothing about the
protocols involved. Can you send me some pointers to
reading material and some hints? I might be able to get
something done with that.

The PROTOCOL doc, located in the doc/en/ directory of the latest TiK releases, is a good place to start for a high level view of the toc protocol.
Also check out toc.tcl for anything relating to user info.
This gonna is sound weird, but another good place to look is the gaim source code. I don't know if they have implemented that feature, but they might've done something similar to it that we still haven't done. Here you'd want to pay attention to anything toc related.
Also look at the dir.tcl file, found in either components or packages depending on your TiK version. I'm not positive that file works for getting directory information, but it does work for setting it. (That's something I need to look at as well when I get the time.)
