[Adium-devl] A plugin to contol Adium via emails

[Nabil Alsharif]

Hello,

	I wouldn't mind working on such a plugin if someone one will give me a
little guidance . I'm very new to Obj-c and friends (Cocoa) but I have
been programming in *nix and windows system for a couple of years. I
really want to learn to develop for Macs and this seems like a good
starting project.
