Maybe you should port Adium to iPhone, and make money of it, so you can support the OS X development. However a few ads won’t bother me in Adium, and I’m also willing to pay for it, but I suggest most users won’t.

I wish you the best guys!

I don’t code, but I could help with some design of icons and UI in my spare time. You can see me design logos here http://logotyp.se

Hi there,

I have absolutely no developer experience (go figure!) but i would be happy to test a beta or help in any way i can, giving detailed feedback from an end-user’s point of view!

@ PsykX i totally agree with you, i really think the adium team would benefit from a little advertising, i’m sure the folks at macrumours.com or pidgin wouldn’t mind helping you guys out??

it really is time that the mac got a decent IM client THAT CAN BE USED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD SO THAT DOESN’T INCLUDE AIM FOR US BRITISH USERS!! (We are so victimised lol!!)

I’d love to contribute to Adium! I have some basic Objective C and Cocoa experience (work in progress), but my strongest point would be UI designs and Icons and all that lark.

A mockup for possible video conferencing with Adium. Just let me know how / what I can help with.

I’m sorry to hear about the lack of development

Don’t worry though, I’m sure you’ll rally!

Hi. Nice post there. Good to know that pidgin released audio and video chat for XMPP. Good for Gchat users. Here's my post regarding the off the record plugin for Pidgin, where users can encrypt incoming and outgoing messages, to give themselves total privacy while chatting: http://opensourcethefuture.blog.co.in/2009/08/28/private-encrypted-instant-messaging-in-pidgin/

I’ve been looking forward to this since I switched to Mac OS 4 years ago. Is it time to start getting excited?

A few months ago I talked with Eric and told him that I want to contribute. I am a student for applied computer sciences in Germany. But Cocoa and Objective-C is a complete different world than Java is. I will tell you that I am ready as soon as I think that I could contribute useful stuff! Hopefully this won’t take me that long anymore..

I think the Adium team should go ask about developers in a few forums (a.k.a. do some advertising!). I mean, the project is great and everything, if it’s manpower that it needs, I’m pretty sure it can be found with some research. I don’t mind posting for instance a news in Mac forums saying “Adium 1.3.6 released!” and then add “the team is currently looking for experienced developers to help them for this and that”, I think it wouldn’t mind anybody either. It’s not like I’m advertising just to advertise, and I think the team should start doing it. Then it can grow and we can count the members on two hands Otherwise the project becomes too big and it does a major fail.
