+pidgin-twitter-0.4.0
+
+
+1. What is this?
+
+pidgin-twitter is a pidgin plugin to help twittering via pidgin. This
+plugin translates an @username string and sender string to the link to
+the user, respectively. It also can play a sound when an incoming
+message contains any recipient name or sender name listed in the
+each dedicated lists.
+
+
+2. Dependency
+
+This plugin requires pidgin 2.4.0 or newer and glib-2.14.0 or newer.
+
+
+3. How to build
+
+Building pidgin-twitter plugin is very simple. Please do
+
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+
+
+4. Usage
+
+To enable pidgin-twitter, please check it "Enabled" in pidgin plugins
+window. If it is enabled, it replaces sender and each @username string
+to the link to the corresponding user by default. You can
+enable/disable these via configure window.
+
+Play sound for matched recipients or sender is also enabled by
+default, however it might not work until you specify user lists for
+this feature. An user list is a enumeration of usernames separated by
+a letter in " ,:;". For example, "foo bar" or "foo,bar" is a valid
+user list. A list like "foo, bar" also works. Recipient list and
+sender list are independent to each other so that you can maintain
+different "watch list" for recipients and senders. This functionality
+is also able to be toggled respectively via configuration window.
+
+Event type of sound to play is also configurable. By default, the
+"Pounce Default" sound is specified as it may not be disabled by
+configuration in pidgin preferences. You can specify other sounds, but
+be aware, you have to enable the event type of sound you specified for
+pidgin-twitter in pidgin's preference.
+
+
+5. Acknowledgment
+
+I got some valuable feedbacks from nosuke (@konosuke) and mojin
