[gaim-migrate @ 322] I don't know why I did this. I have homework due in 15 hours that I haven't started yet, and it's in a language I don't know and it's a project I don't understand. If my teacher knew about this, he would be pissed. He looks pissed all the time, even when he's not. When he smiles he looks devilish. Maybe I only think that because literally half the class flunked the midterm. I am not joking about that. More people got F's than A, B, and C combined. It's 2 am and the homework's due at 5 tomorrow so what do I do? Get chat to work. Wow. That's going to look good on my resume. "Why did you flunk this class?" "Because I was getting chat in Instant Messenger to work." Not that that's not something to be proud of, but I wonder which is more important to employers. The big battle, experience versus education. Just because you got good grades in college doesn't mean you're smarter than someone who flunked, it just means you put in the effort necessary to get a better grade and the other person didn't. Maybe the person who flunked was working on real honest-to-god actually *used* software, as opposed to some stupid tree that only gets used for a fringe branch of computer science that doesn't offer much more than a normal heap or binary search tree offers. Maybe the person was out there reverse-engineering protocols and allowing cross- platform communication to occur, creating interoperability and causing a greater demand not only for the product, but for the platform it runs on! Given the choices, who would you pick? Someone who was told how to code a tree and managed to get it to work, or someone who increases your userbase and marketability? Enough of my rant for a while. I've had waaaaay too much sugar (gummy candy is deadly). committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

Getting users' away messages (PLEASE do not use oscar/libfaim just because of
	this, gaim with libfaim is still really buggy, none of you will listen
	to me anyway)
Telling the server who's on your permit/deny lists
Chat:
 - getting invited
 - refreshing the chatlist in the preferences dialog

CURRENTLY UNSUPPORTED FEATURES
==============================
Warning users/getting warned
Chat:
 - joining rooms
 - leaving rooms
 - talking
 - inviting someone
 - whispering (this will never happen)
Getting/setting dir info
Changing your password
File transfer/IM images/voice chat/etc.

KNOWN ISSUES
============
- Oscar doesn't do whispering in chat rooms any more (and hasn't for quite a
while, evidently). So if you want to "whisper" to someone, just IM them.

- Chat is really funny. I have no idea what's going on with it. I'm not sure I
want to know. I'm not worried about it, I never use chat. It's not exactly high-
priority.

- The permit list sometimes has problems when you start gaim, but if you change
to it in the middle of a session there don't seem to be any problems.

- "Allow anyone" and "Deny some" serve the same function. That's not a bug. But

- Chat works, to a degree. I'm not sure that you can create rooms, but I think
you can. I'm not sure that you can be in more than one room at once, but I
think you can. I'm not sure that you can leave the chat room and still have
gaim be stable, but I think you can.
