 Your task is to compare what libpurple does at a protocol level with what the official Windows Yahoo! client does, figure out where it differs, and then repair libpurple's implementation.  If time permits, documentation of the protocol would be a huge win, as well.
+
+== MySpaceIM TLC ==
+Our MySpaceIM implementation is currently substandard. The plugin was developed as part of Summer of Code 2007 by reverse-engineering the protocol spoken by the official client (making it the first publicly-available third party MySpaceIM implementation) , and although it is functional, further reverse-engineering of the protocol and bug-fixing of the libpurple implementation is needed to bring our client up to par with the official client. 
+
+A list of known bugs is available at MsimToDo. Areas to consider working on include, but are not limited to:
+
+ * Group chat support (#4691)
+ * Improved server-side buddy-list support (#3444, #4734, #4841, #5240)
+ * Buddy search (#2661)
+ * MySpace.com "webchallenge" support (#2659). Require significant reverse-engineering skills, but your work would benefit not only libpurple-based clients but other third-party MySpaceIM implementations. Please list any reverse-engineering experience you have (for example, if you've used OllyDbg or other tools) if you wish to take on this task.
+ * General bug fixing
+ * Adding new features supported by the official client, but not libpurple
+
+Your mission is to understand what the official MySpaceIM client does at a protocol level, document what you've found at  http://imfreedom.org/wiki/index.php/MySpaceIM (if not already documented), and implement it in libpurple.
