Well, quality introductory documentation is always a problem. There is http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin (the site is currently down, so I cannot check how good in fact it is), but if you have a problem in understanding it, please, file an issue in the Trac (developer.pidgin.im -> Login -> New Ticket) if possible with suggestion how the documentation should explain the thing. And of course, it would be even better if you would be willing to step up and condense your experience into improvements of pidgin's official documentation. > - When I launch the program I get a bare window with > a drop-down at the bottom that says "Available".

While doing so, ask here for help whenever you get stuck. The result would be that a) you would learn your way around, b) there would be a nice tutorial ;-).
