Gaim Renamed — Now Pidgin IM

Posted by kdawson on from the speak-freely dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Announced on the Gaim mailing lists earlier today, the Gaim project is being renamed. This follows a lengthy and, unfortunately, secret legal process with AOL, which also prevented any code releases except betas. The project will now be known as Pidgin IM. Development is being migrated off of sourceforge.net as well and is now being hosted on developer.pidgin.im"

    Don't link Wikipedia pages without reading them first, dumbass. And, given the comment you've just posted, I'd advise you to be veeeeeeery careful whenever assuming you know something.

    That's because there's nothing more gay than complaining about petty shit like that when there's real problems in the world.

    In that case, you need to invest in a dictionary that was not made for elementary school students.

    Really. Do people read books anymore? "Pidgin" isn't exactly an obscure word. I would be surprised to find any educated native speaker who didn't know it.
