[Adium-devl] MobileChat for the iPhone Needs Some Help

[Chris Forsythe]

The main question for me is, what are the goals of both projects? If 
they are the same, maybe instead of having 2 clients, you guys could all 
work on a single client? I mean, it'd make sense, it'd still be small 
enough of a team for you guys to all have something to do, and you'd get 
further faster.

Thoughts?
