Adium to be a Google Summer of Code project

Adium, the open source multi-network chat client with more features than I thought existed, has recently announced that they are going to be a mentoring project in this year's Google Summer of Code. For those unfamiliar: it's a program that brings students together to collaborate on and learn about open source programming. Each summer Google accepts and offers many different projects that students may apply to work on, as you can see from their extensive list.

Adium's list of available projects is quite lengthy as well, which should be good news for fans and users of the app. I have honestly never paid that much attention to the Google Summer of Code events before, but I do know that they have improved or given birth to a lot of great OSS in the past. Good luck to Adium and company!

I hope they do some work on libgaim as well, since Adium as an app is fairly awesome already, but its the libgaim "features" that are a little lacking. Although, its a pipe dream, I suppose.

Kevin, make sure your status is at "available." Adiumby defaultopens with all of your accounts signed out. If your status is set at "offline" or if you just plain don't know, you can always change your status by using "Status" in the menu bar, the duck silhouette on the right of the menu bar, or the menu of the Adium dock icon.

Or maybe you know all this already and it's something else. If that's the case, sorry about explaining what you already know about. : D

Summer of George!

By the way, I'm having this problem where my contact list won't show up at all no matter what I do (choosing to view it from the Window option, etc). Anyone got a solution?

Sounds like Summer of George from Seinfeld.
