+MySpaceIM Protocol Plugin 0.3     by Jeff Connelly 20070414
+
+** Note: this code is being developed under Google Summer of Code.
+
+Greetings. This package contains a plugin for Gaim (now named Pidgin, but
+the plugin does not yet take this into consideration) to connect to the new
+MySpaceIM instant messaging network and send/receive messages. Functionality
+is only basic as of yet, and this code should be considered beta quality.
+
+Currently implemented:
+
+- Parsing most of the protocol
+- Logging in using RC4/SHA1-based authentication
+- Sending messages, by numeric userid, username, or email
+- Receiving messages (displays username)
+- Some buddy list support (show all users on buddy list as username); not stable
+- Tooltip text (shows, among other things, currently playing song)
+- Win32 support
+
+To try it out, login to your account and send a message to yourself
+(by your username or numeric uid (email not yet supported)) or tom (6221).
+In either case you should get a reply. You should also be able to talk to
+other MySpaceIM users if you desire. Replies will always be shown as coming
+from a user's username, even if you IM by email or userid.
+
+There is a lot of work still to be done:
+- Better buddy list support, signing on/off
+- Status (online/offline/invisible, w/ message)
+- Typing notifications
+- Use Nathan Peterson's RC4 in cipher.c
+- General clean up of code
+- All the TODOs and XXX's mentioned in myspace.c
+- Every other MySpaceIM feature not yet implemented
+
+Feedback welcome.
+
+Enjoy,
