I have OAuth itself working fine w/ a test service type -- it just needs an acceptable UI hooked up and it needs to be integrated into the actual FB XMPP service type. I don't have as much free time as I thought and would love some help finishing it.

I think it's a rule that any time I try to sit down to do some Adium work, I'll spend more time dealing with non-Adium things than actually coding.  

In the last 2 days I have:
 - Dealt with 2 unrelated build issues on my local system
 - Dealt with a long merge issue to maintain a patch that we'd applied to libpurple's IRC some time ago to provide 'away' status updates
	- Subsequently ported it upstream so that others can benefit and we don't have to worry about that merge issue in the future
	- Done it wrong and had to disapprove all the revisions, figure out how to switch branches in monotone (you can't, I think... you just do a new checkout on the desired branch), and pluck them to im.pidgin.pidgin.next.minor (since it adds API)
 - Hunted down a change in libpurple (in which the typing flag was cleared after calling the ui_op for displaying the message) which led to a crash in Adium when our automatic handling of certain IRC messages caused the conversation to be closed before the run loop canceled

And now after reading the requisite how-to blog post (for a system which appears to think it is perfectly reasonable to have steps like, "To push out your changes for others, `cd .hg/patches` from the root of the repo you qclone’d and `hg push`." Obviously!) I'm waiting for a fresh checkout of adium-1.4 with this patch queue.  So, did you decide this patch queue thing was useful?
