Asher, Could you give us a little introduction from "community engagement" perspective? For example:
When did you start using Adium? What protocols (in or out of Adium) do you use most? What's your favorite messagestyle? Which xtras do you use? Have you written any xtras? Are you on the forums? What other open source projects have you contributed to? Do you like pineapple on pizza? Do you know Swift? I think those are all questions I've heard asked of Adium devs over the years. Thanks!
