We are a very Mac-friendly company and I think every OSX user has Adium installed!  Given the high-profile of Adium, both in our company and the Mac community in general, if you need something specific from the BitBucket guys, I can go into bat for you and see if there's anything we can do :)

Hi James,

I really appreciate the support Bitbucket has given to Adium over the years 
and I like using it myself. However, bringing in more contributors is 
a pretty high priority for Adium right now. If adding Github to our mirrors 
lowers the bar for even a couple of people to make a small contribution, 
then this is a win, in my opinion.

Current status: I've reran the conversion on eider with the updated 
author-map. `git repack`ing failed a couple of times, probably due to too 
high memory usage, but reducing the window size eventually got it to work.  
It is now available on https://github.com/adium/adium/. Syncing is still 
manual as I haven't exactly figured out how to handle Github and hg.adium.im 
diverging properly, and bookmarks still occasionally seem to get lost.

So I think it's ready for the world to try, so now go fork it and send some 
pull requests everyone. :)

Regards,
Thijs
