Thanks for your very prompt reply. Yes, I have included gajim in the very short list at Step 3. I added the link to my guide into my profile description just now (in case Mastodon-centric Fediverse clients don't show GNUSocial profile elements).

Its the small things in #Pidgin isn't it? Like not knowing the purpose of a window, no access to emoji (smileys are not emoji), little inconsistencies in what things are named and not suggesting the type of data to enter into fields. A few minor tweaks (and visual) improvements and it would be very impressive.

After I have done the CSS patches for GNUSocial instances I /may/ be able to help with Pidgin. If you know/see any #PidginDev feel free to put them in contact.

Thanks again.
