[Adium-devl] AIHyperlinks framework (was Re: Community versus ego?)

[Augie Fackler]

It's small:
pwd ; svn log -r 1:HEAD | grep '^r' | cut -f 2 -d \| | sort | uniq
/Stuff/adium/Frameworks/AIHyperlinks Framework
  adamiser
  boredzo
  catfish_man
  cbarrett
  durin42
  earthmkii
  eevyl
  evands
  gbooker
  jmelloy
  lechimp
  toby

lechimp's only involvement was s/2004/2005/ in r8547 ("Happy New Year  
Adium" commit, I take it most of us remember that 'un). No code was  
modified in that changeset.

I'll give permission to BSD the thing for my contributions. It should  
probably also go live in maccode.
