Hi Jérôme,
Thanks for adding the plugin, and supporting it. Thanks also for the
others from the list, who also helped in making it available. I also
saw it on the webpage, and it's great.
I see there was some discussion about the plugin going or not to CVS,
but I think it's a good idea to enter CVS. Some changes in amsn code
may be easier to track. (Like that change in amsn 0.95 to 0.96 that
made it stop to work, ie, changing "::files_dir" to "receiveddir" key
in config).
As this is my first message, let me introduce myself briefly. I'm a
Phd student in Computer Science at University of Campinas in Brazil.
I'm researching in theory of computation area, but I like very much to
program and I would like to help and contribute more times to the
project, whenever it's possible.
Thanks ppl,

Yes we decided that a long time ago and it sucks...
By example, when we change code in aMSN and it affects plugin, we
just have to grep on all plugins in CVS and modify everything at the
same time (we did that a lot of time), but if the plugin is not on
CVS...the plugin lost compatibility.
Also I saw too many times on the mailing list, "where is the what is
plugin, where is the contactcard plugin, where is the contact tray
plugin" and then many people have different versions and then it's
hard to know what is the real last version. No problem when it's on CVS.
Also, when we keep stuff outside of CVS, it's really hard to have
auto-update. Yes people can set up their own server for autoupdate,
but remember what happened with the whatis plugin...the autoupdate
server went down and now it's impossible to autoupdate that plugin
and we didn't have an update for that plugin in many months...With
whatis on CVS we could avoid that problem.
What is the reasons to not keep stuff on CVS? Space? It's like 50kb
or less...we really don't care...compare with skins, it's a loooot less.
So because this plugin is very likely to get update in the future,
it's a good reason to keep it here.
