Suggestion for discussion: Can Pidgin development be made cross-platform?

[pidgin]

What would it take to make Pidgin development (core and plugins) more Windows 
friendly?

Shlomi, when I started sending out the "suggestion for discussion" emails I 
stated that the intent was to solicit opinions and discussion on the merits of the ideas.

I am not familiar with the vernacular, so I'll trust your interpretation.


The Pidgin project does not have infinite resources and cannot implement all
the features that people want. One option for you would be to set up a bounty
or a kickstarter/indiegogo/etc. campaign or whatever for that.


Or maybe even trying to write a plugin.

Unfortunately Pidgin development seems to be very Windows unfriendly.  But 
that's a topic for another discussion.

Re: Bad certificate on planet.pidgin.im

Just as a quick point of note for anyone that might benefit.

I happen to be working certs right now myself.  I discovered 
letsencrypt.org a free certificate authority.  Pretty nifty. That's all 
we know. ;)

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that

an exception for this certificate.

planet.pidgin.im uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names: www.pidgin.im,
pidgin.im, hg.pidgin.im
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

Can this be fixed?

Hi Richard,

The only website login that Pidgin has is to the bug tracker and you don't
need to be logged into that to be able to use Pidgin.  You might be getting
confused with logging into a service instead, which you'll need to register
with that protocol yourself through their website/sign up form.

Cheers,
Eion

No, a polite way of saying "if you want something, you're best to try do it
yourself"

Furthermore, Eion Robb maintains and/or contributes to:

   - funyahoo-plusplus
   - telegram-purple
   - skype4pidgin
   - pidgin-opensteamworks
   - purple-gammu
   - pidgin-pushbullet
   - purple-matrix
   - okcupid-pidgin
   - and more

which is probably more than enough of what we can expect of one single
person.

I disagree. "Sod off" means that the pidgin devs are not interested in this
functionality and that it won't be supported or accepted. "Patches welcome"
implies that this functionality is desirable, but not a high priority to the
core developers, but who may still support making it a part of pidgin.

The Pidgin project does not have infinite resources and cannot implement all
the features that people want. One option for you would be to set up a bounty
or a kickstarter/indiegogo/etc. campaign or whatever for that.
