Thank you for Pidgin, and all the quick fixes.

I want to thank you all for one of the best pieces of software on my computer. I use Pidgin for nearly all my communications.

 

I also want to thank you for such quick fixes. I noticed a problem with pidgin not always having an icon on the taskbar in Windows Vista, and it seems to be fixed as of the latest version. Plus the Yahoo is fixed, which is very nice.

 

Thanks once again, just thought I should write something nice to all you hard workers who work on this wonderful program not for money, but for the love of making computing better and easier for us all.

I'd like to second that :-P

Question along these lines I see no info about donations on the faq is
there a pot to donate to or is it strictly all volunteer work only.
I'm not bad with code I just am finding myself less and less willing
to do anything. I may be willing to port some code from one thing to
another given some specs but willingness of my brain to cooperate with
reading and writing code just gets harder and harder. If I can donate
money when I can afford it it would make it easier for us less skilled
people to donate. I always donate with testing via usage and give as
much a detailed explanation of any problems I can but that seems
little with as few issues I have with it.

We have been looking to set up a donation system for Instant Messaging Freedom,
Inc., the non-profit corporation set up three years ago (one of you old-timers
please correct me if I'm wrong here--I wasn't in the loop then!).  One of IMF's
purposes is to shield individual developers from lawsuits such as the one we
were facing over the use of our former name.  Unfortunately, we do not yet have
that donation system up and running.  It's on our to-do list, but it seems to
just never happen.

Right now, I would say that the best use of donations intended for Pidgin in
general would be to donate to the Software Freedom Law Center, who have provided
our legal counsel in the founding and maintenance of IMF and staving off the
lawsuit from AOL.  Otherwise, you could find out if any developers have specific
preferred charities or donate to an organization that helps people in need in
your local area.

Instant Messaging Freedom did eventually get non-profit status.  I  
think Kevin was going to write a donation page, but free time is  
always at a premium.

At this point, if someone else wants to put together the stuff to make
the donations system work (using authorize.net API), so that it only
takes me a couple hours to get it integrated into the site, I would love
that person.

I just have too many projects at work lately and all I want to do when
I'm not working is not code stuff. ;)
