+Progress on various Pidgin / libpurple features:
+
+== MSN support ==
+
+=== Past ===
+
+Google SoC 2006 project on msnp13 support: the first start on future MSN protocols support, was apparently never merged so it was not complete enough.
+
+Google SoC 2007 project on msnp14 support: UpdateMsnSupport, continuing from last summer. Did not produce completely problem-free functionality, but a base for what is now in Pidgin trunk and can be enabled by modifying configure.ac. Remaining tickets for the "Activate MSNPV14" target in roadmap: [http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=Activate+MSNPV14 tickets]
+
+[http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/ msn-pecan]: An actively developed alternative MSN protocol plugin.
+
+=== Future ===
+
+Two choices, fixing and activating current msnp14 code or merging msn-pecan. According to the msn-pecan's web site, there have been some disputes between other Pidgin developers and the msn-pecan developer, so it's not clear that the merge will happen without someone's "social engineering" in-between.
+
+== Voice & Video ==
+
+=== Past ===
+
+Earliest progess: [http://gaim-vv.sourceforge.net/ gaim-vv]. In 2005 it was stated that gaim-vv people were merging with the gaim proper (gaim is what pidgin was called before). However, this did not happen and the code bases are too different now without a big amount of work.
+
+Could someone add some facts if gaim-vv people are still around or something?
+
+=== Future ===
+
+No current plans are known, maybe some of the currently active developers could write some information here?
