Suggesting that all third party plugins for pidgin should be packaged is a bit like suggesting that all available extensions for firefox should be packaged
will Mr.jkerr82508
suggestion like that will not be so good for mageia packages packagers
just imagin that me or you that some person come to us with that suggestion
definitly i will not help him
because 100 packages when we make it and send it to repositories
and see after some times that those packages never been downloaded from repo
this will shock us definitly and you know after these things what will happen
===========================
but my suggestion here is supporting for other protocols (( correct me if i am wrong by naming it with this name )) like
facebook / twitter / msn / yahoo ......and the other important ones
so how about it
============================
i will start to fill request at bugzilla
