Well, I gather this is not an issue with just kyim, but also with gaim, and
maybe with everybuddy, ari-yahoo and others. So shouldn't we get those guys
also into this?

Offhand...

1. The way Kyim handles sending offline messages. (Esp. if you have "show only
online friends" enabled).

2. (Most imp.) KDE. I hate the fact that I need to have GTK libraries
around for just Yahoo messenger. This is my single greatest peeve with yahoo
messenger.

3. The new installation procedure - at least on RedHat systems. It sucks.

The entire site runs on FreeBSD/Apache.
