Okay, let me say some words about my project and give you some useful links.

First of all my abstract available here

More details about Pidgin Remote Logging

Google Summer of Code

Hi to everyone. I am participant of Google Summer of Code 2007. If you don't know what does it mean, you definitely should visit this link.

I have one highly interesting idea related with IM (Instant Messenger), it is remote logging (what is this I'll describe  lately)

So I was needed in IM for implementation of my idea, and I've chose Pidgin. Frankly speaking I didn't use this IM before, but now I'm sure that was good choice.

Why I think so? Because:

• Pidgin is free software available under the GNU General Public License. So everyone can obtain code and modify it;
  

• Pidgin supports many commonly used instant messaging protocols, such as ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, IRC and many others;
  
• Pidgin is multi-platform instant messaging client and it is very useful because I work with Windows and FreeBSD at home and with X 10 at University;
  
• Pidgin has multiple account access support, this is also very useful nowadays, because sometimes we have several accounts, as for me I have ICQ, MSN and Yahoo account
  
• Pidgin has rather convenient and considered structure because it is divided into an interface, and a library which handles protocol. Thus Pidgin has different interfaces such as Graphic User Interface (known as Pidgin), console interface which named Finch and even web-interface accessible on http://www.meebo.com/
  
• And the last but not the least is that Pidgin is rather popular IM client.

Also, I would like to add, that Pidgin has a great future, cos it has great developer team, so I am very pleased to have this opportunity to work with this development team.
