Well, unfortunately, I think we'd have to wait until 10.5 is actually  
out, since an open-source project adopting Leopard APIs now would  
spoil Apple's secrets.

Perhaps implement it as a plug-in? Then you would work on it in your  
own Adium check-out (perhaps using SVK to version it locally), then  
submit the patch when 10.5 comes out, without having to worry *too*  
much about Adium's code changing out from under you. (It's a risk  
anyway, but less so than working on Adium itself.) It would also help  
make it optional, since those of us who don't need parental controls  
could pass on installing the plug-in.

Another option that you have is to take private notes without  
actually coding anything. Accrete information as it comes in, and  
eventually you'll have the feature more-or-less already written in  
English, leaving only the job of porting it to Cocoa and Adium after  
the 10.5 release.

Will you be at WWDC, or are you referring to the future, when 10.5 is  
available for public consumption?
