This package is based on the package 'pidgin' from project 'GNOME:Community'.

Pidgin allows you to talk to anyone using a variety of messaging
protocols including AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Jabber, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ,
IRC, Novell Groupwise, QQ, Lotus Sametime, SILC, Simple and Zephyr.
These protocols are implemented using a modular, easy to use design. To
use a protocol, just add an account using the account editor.

Pidgin supports many common features of other clients, as well as many
unique features, such as Perl scripting, TCL scripting and C plugins.

Pidgin is not affiliated with or endorsed by America Online, Inc.,
