+WINGAIM:

+gtk2/new prefs
+	replace legend in info dialog with link to status icons page
+	buddy ticker stays around when you sign off - showing the buddies who were online
+	need a close button on conversations for when its tabed if nothing else.
+	both color selectors say "select text color", which is background and which foreground?
+	text like <font color=blah>with only some text</font> being colored causes the whole line to be colored.
+	lots of font troubles. esp in picking good fonts to use when the theme doesn't have an installed one.
+	on away tab, if you set the time between responces, you
+		reset the type of idle time reporting. similar
+		problems may exist in other combinations.
+	selecting debug window in prefs doesn't stick (isn't saved).
+	when auto-away (by idle time) is activated, away message window
+		does not pop up.
+	pressing save on new away message dialog does not immediately add
+		away message to list of away messages.
+	ignore font faces doesn't ignore the font faces in a person's info
+	kicking someone in #name-extention causes a kick to display in #name as well
+		and vice-versa
+	the preference for the width of a chat is being used when chats and
+		conversations are in the same window.
+	resizing text entry area below default doesn't work well.
+		some people report being unable to shrink it at all
+	escape to close window pref or function doesn't work right
+		has to do with loss of focus and incorrect initial focus.
+	there is a blank line in the blist for a couple seconds after someone
+		signs off.
+	themes don't set background correctly in the blist. (reported, not verified)
+
+GAIM-REMOTE:
+	need a doc written up for gaim-remote on usage

+DISCUSSION:
+	show alias in list of people in chat
+	tab complete to alias, translate to nick on send for chat
+	disable x on blist when docklet loaded?
+	timestamp on debug messages?
+	ximian serial numbers in rpms cause... problems.
+	sorting of conversation tabs, if the ordering of left-to-right
+		order by opening isn't good enough for you
+	msn auth expires (better, but still not perfect)
+	rpm and deb installs should create menu items in kde if possible
+	gaim should detect if message is sent and only log on success
+		for protocols capable of offline messaging, this would
+		always log, but aim messages would only be logged if
+		sent to an online person. this would essentially entail
+		making logging dependent on the return status of the
+		serv send msg command.
+	option to disable close for x seconds after recieve im. this would
+		short circuit missing messages as you close the window.
+		make it an option that's off by default.
+
+IN GENERAL:
+	stack trace should exit instead of just sitting there
+	documentation needed. (both online and not)
+	check to make sure gaimrc properly unescapes things like a " in
+		a password as the .gaimrc file is read in.
+	PERMIT ONLY PEOPLE ON MY LIST TO IM ME IS NEEDED ASAP!!!!!!!!
+	automake 1.4 support bug, non-root users can't get gaim to compile
+		by putting the gtk2 and glib2 m4 files in the m4 dir
+	automake 1.6 support not perfect.
+	add ircproxy option to proxy preferences.
+	per-sn controls on how to compute idle time
+	self alias does not display in irc chat. (and maybe other chats)
+	have gaim -h show version number as well as help
+	adding and removing buddies needs cleaned up.
+		basically, add_buddy should be calling ui_add_buddy
+		and serv_add_buddy as needed (require an extra arg to
+		add_buddy to tell it what needs done) and the various
+		ways a buddy can come to be needing added should be
+		calling some type of request_add_buddy (this would be
+		part of both the core<->ui interface and the core<->prpl
+		interface
+	convert from licq and eb to gaim
+		licq has a directory with one file per buddy
+		eb i don't know. but the trick there would be
+		converting to several accounts at once.
+		we have a perl script for licq, but nothing for
+		eb yet.
+	fix memory leaks
+	block buddy option from right click menu in blist
+	sounds/Makefile needs to use host CC, not target

+	SEARCH FUNCTION FOR LOG FILES
+	preference to set logfile path.

 THE PROTOCOLS:

-	Other RVOUS Actions
+AIM(via oscar):
+	groups are read off server in a different order from
+		winaim. this is a problem for people who use
+		both and want thier list to be in a certain
+		order. along the same lines, because we
+		don't read in the same order i'd bet,
+		we don't write to the server in a way
+		that would cause winaim to produce the
+		ordering gaim has.
+	option to ignore chat room invitations. (this is something you
+		could vary concievably want to be done per account,
+		so perhaps a protocol action would be best)
+	some way to close direct connect w/out closing convo.
+	idle time display in get_info displays in minutes instead
+		of computing hours and days as the blist does
+	in non-tabed conversations, clicking the x to close the
+		window does not close the direct connection.
+		using escape and the close button do.
+	STILL have blist corruption troubles
+	canceled direct im should still allow new attempt
+	failed direct im attempt should allow new attempt
+		some way to cancel an attempt that isn't happening
+	Colors in Chat room are wrong (using Gold too much)
+	away message when directly connected bug
+		only displays on one side
+		if direct connected to winaim, lockup when
+			winaim goes away, unlocks when winaim returns
+	Voice Chat
+
+ICQ(via oscar, who cares about the icq prpl):
+	get info on offline user incorrectly says user is online.
+	typing notification
+	set the Nickname to be the self-alias
+	Chat (this is different from aim chat)
+	File Transfer (do we really want this?)
+	New User Registration
+	color support
+	more privacy options
+	more info support
+	increased authorization support
+	set status message
+		and of course when gaim can set them, it needs to
+		be able to get the ones it sets. (yes this is
+		redundent. its a reflection of my current mood)
+	search for users
+	option to set alias to nick

 Yahoo:
+	new mail message with no info in it ie ()

 MSN:
+	spaces in friendly names not always unescaped for display, and so displaying
+		as %20 (this may be fixed)
+	bug: some people recieve blank messages. clicking to ignore font faces
+		works around this problem. gaim should detect and use the default
+		font when the requested font isn't found.
+	Majortool says to tell sean about "already in opposite list"
+		errors are still happening, now whenever you start
+		gaim. follow from prior conversation.
+		javabsp|away: the (C) and (R) works
+		(23:02:54) MajorTool: LSchiere: yeah what javabsp|away
+		is talking about but its certain ones

 IRC:
-	/ban, /kickban, /list, /names
-	DCC Send
-	CTCP
+	gaim generates ~5 popups when it fails to sign on
+		an irc server because the nick is already
+		in use.
+	Error 421, unknown command when going away. sometimes.
+	/ban, /kickban, /names
+	CTCP version generates an autoreply when person is away or idle.
+		the error box used vy it also binds the focus (like
+		all other error popups). i'm not sure there is a way
+		around this second issue.
+	fix segfault on attempted send after having been /remove'ed
+	multi word remove messages
+	auto reply to /msg on away
+	no list of people on /join
+	display target of +b and +q

 Jabber:
+	in 0.59.3, not replicated by me in cvs, timestamp
+		is having a font size tag set (value of 10, obviously a point
+		size), but the rest of the line isn't. 3 issues here:
+		why is the size a point size, and why is only the tag around the
+		timestamp being set, and lastly why is it only happening in jabber
+		for the reporter, and only jabber chats at that.
+	problem seeing buddies with long blist?
+	make password change take effect w/out restart
+	*sigh* file transfer (do we really need/want this?)
 	Jabber Transports (having them show up on the buddy list should be
 		fairly easy; having an appropriate right-click menu for
 		them should also be somewhat easy. Providing a UI for adding
 		transports should be rather difficult.)
-	Rework how subscriptions are handled
 	Browsing
-	Make the set info dialog prettier
-	File Sending
+	Bug: Opening/closing/re-opening conferences (to the same "room"?)
+		and changing conf. rm. nicks results in wrong nick re-appearing
+		(to other clients) and crash on close of conference dialog.
+	Server Admin operations (messages, etc.)
+	Support new server feature for "invisibility"
+	Add option for user info to be published or not in JUD.
+	Ability to "IM" conference room "buddies"
