Nice to know! You haven't found a TODO list simply because there is
none. Well here it is:
 * Make it work
I guess you already had a look at the threads about amsn2 on our forum:
http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5994

Anyway here are some tips on how to get started: first decide which
toolkit you are going to develop for. If you pick efl or curses you'll
have some people working on that too which will be able to help you,
if you pick GTK and KDE I think you'll be on your own (but I may be
wrong!). Anyways, once you have chosen which toolkit you want to
concentrate on, try to log in and do some stuff. As soon as you get to
something you can't do or doesn't work, you know what to develop next
;) For now GUIs are less complete than the core, but at some point
we'll need to add features to the core to continue developing the
frontend.
I know this is not a real planning, but it is a good way to gain a
good understanding of the code base while developing it a little. Also
making it work for your needs is one of the best motivations I can
think of while developing a software, so I personally find this
approach quite effective. In any way you can join us on IRC (#amsn @
freenode) if you need help on something.

Oh BTW, before saving the configuration file maybe we should agree on
the file format for the configuration... Also we prefer developing the
frontends for now also because it is a way to put to test the code
that's in the core, also to understand if we need to do modifications
to the design or other things, but I'm sure that in a very short time
you'll find your place to go on with development.

KaKaRoTo will be pleased to hear that ;)
