As a daily MSN user (france is that kind of country where MSN leads), I may
say that the overall use of MSN is better with Felipe's msn-pecan.
It does crash adium, sometimes, and it is kinf of frustrating. BUT ! The
overall experience is way better. Before msn-pecan, I had a lot of
connecting and speaking issues. So many issues sending messages, people not
receiving it, and so on.
What I mean is, even if it crashes, it is still way better. I feel better
with msn-pecan.

Plus, Felipe's planning to add direct connection transfer, a feature that is
WAY more interesting than V/V at the moment.
I mean, when I need to webcam, sth like once a week, I ask people to get on
AIM and I get on iChat. That's ok for a "once in week" duty. But I do send
files many times a day, and it is very frustrating to ask people to send
their file via mail.

Nothing really precise, nothing really interesting, just wanted to root for
pecan :).


Chris' solution looks good. Just one thing : who will use and debug
msn-pecan then?
What I would love, though I know it may be hard, is to have an Adium w/
msn-pecan bundle. I mean, the official one would be Adium w/ MSNP15 for now,
and some people who'd prefer / like to use msn-pecan, to help felipe go on,
would be able to dowmload the bundle somewhere on the wiki, hidden from
daily basic people.
But that's just a dream, I do know that =D
