10 originally wrote it). Their name will be next to the protocol; they're the
11 people to complain to when something doesn't work ;).

20 MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS 25 Buddy List
21 ====================
22
23 I'm impressed that this is working. It took a major restructuring of the
24 internals of gaim. Everything had been based around one connection, and that
25 connection used one protocol or the other. Now, there are many connections, and
26 each connection may be using a different protocol. This change should be nearing
27 completion now; most things are working and there are very few FIXME's related
28 to multiple connections left.
