Change the "Screen name" text to "Username" per a number of discussions on the mailing lists, IRC, and XMPP. This will truly come to fruition when we merge im.pidgin.pidgin.next.minor back here, gaining us the help text in the entry area.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
