[Adium-devl] Kopete Message styles and Adium

[Chris Forsythe]

Regarding the action template in Adium, after 1.0 (i.e. in 1.1) if 
everyone likes it then that sounds like a plan.

Overall if we (Adium folks) can get standardization between any other 
clients I think we should hop onto that. For anyone interested, Colin 
made a mailing list for the Universal Log Format:

http://groups.google.com/group/ulf-discuss

I think it would be beneficial if both clients kept the message style 
format so that they can be used in either. I've seen reports on the 
Xtras site that message styles that are from Kopete folks tend to not 
work. Nothing substantiated, but it does show that we need to come up 
with a plan on it if there isn't one already so that message views work 
between the two clients.
