Comment on Adium Redesignedparent

It would have to be quite a serious fork, adium as it is has quite a lot of Mac-isms. Starting with it being at core a mutli-window application. I'd be interested to see where this goes, and have set myself a reminder in three months to see if there's been any development on it, as it's an interesting project.

Adium is one of the rare apps where it makes sense for it to be multi-window. You might want certain chats on certain spaces only, while having a separate contact list window that hides at one edge of the screen.

I 100% want different chat windows in different locations on my monitor. Work chat goes on the right, personal chat goes on the left.

I do NOT want to accidentally tell my boss I can't wait to grope him tonight because I clicked on a window and started typing without checking I had the right person selected.
