Title: Better chat log viewer Student: Adam Fowler Abstract: I propose that I can improve the current log viewer.

Here is a link to the current look of the log: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7SCDXyMBhLnCqm7BHVs3dg?feat=directlink

Here is a link to how I think it should look: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/aEXSVhhgOKhJCv9vIglh-w?feat=directlink

  • I want to improve the UI for the log viewer, remove redundancy of some aspects, and streamline features into a more easily understandable method. Also, I think there should be a "sort by" feature for the searching of the log.

  • Difficult parts of this project will be finding the grouping by person. I feel this may require some linkage on the users part, as not everyone has similar contact informations. Such as: "'markdoliner' on AIM and 'mark.doliner@…' on XMPP".

In short, at the end of the summer, pidgin's log viewer WILL be more user friendly, and generally a bit better organized. It may also have a sorting feature.

Tuesday 25, 2010 : Setup monotone and installed devel version of Pidgin.

Monday 31, 2010 : I read "The C Programming Language", it was a speed run though (one night) so I'll no doubt have to go back and re-read a few things, but it's getting me through learning GTK+ 2.0. I'm going to spend the rest of the day learning GTK.
