Category: msn Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alexandre Strube (alexandre_ganso) Assigned to: Stu Tomlinson (nosnilmot) Summary: winks support Initial Comment: The new msn 7 has some features called "winks". This is new, and should be integrated with gaim's msn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gundumfx (gundumfx) Date: 2007-02-20 15:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1700860 Originator: NO just add the feature, and make a on off switch for it in prefs takes care of the whole controversy, i personally like gaim because it can do everything other clients can and still run optimal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Baas (tigermb) Date: 2005-05-29 09:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=762357 A plugin means that you can enable or disable it. gaims msn plugin is an msn plugin. MS MSN client adds features that means that all the 3rd party clients should get themselve compatible. It'd like to have a wink plugin, because i have enough telling people that my msn client doesnt support winks.

It's a thing that there's now on msn. For keeping full compatibility with it, we must have anything. Your "Change to windows msn7" attitude will not help anyone, nor developers or even users switching from microsoft to open-source solutions. I think a simple message "Someone send you a lame thing of msn7" is better than that "blah your msn client is too old for running this" that appears on msn when someone tries to send gaim a wink. This does not mean a full-screen animation must be implemented anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alexandre Strube (alexandre_ganso) Date: 2005-02-28 12:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=747098 This is not a matter of being a lame feature or not.
