    v10 v11  
    1 = Pidgin Development =
     1= The Road to Pidgin =
    22
    3 This is an introductory paragraph describing how we go about developing Pidgin. It probably just contains a lot of fluff that everyone already knows, but we have to include it because otherwise it would just be a bunch of links, and that would look weird.
     3== Icons ==
    44
    5 == First Useful Subheader ==
     5Looking good. They're all in pidgin.im svn
    66
    7 This paragraph is probably about getting the source code. That's typically a useful starting point. Maybe it explains what subversion commands to use. It problably contains a link to [http://developer.pidgin.im/browser]. It probably also contains a link to the sourceforge download pages and explains that you probably want to hack against svn.
     7== Logo ==
    88
    9 Oh, and it has to include a list:
    10 
    11  * Useful subversion tutorial!
    12  * How to download subversion for Windows, maybe.
    13  * Browse Source, again
    14 
    15 == This one is about, maybe, building? ==
    16 
    17 So here, we probably go through the steps in building. It might make sense to subhead this one too, but you always have to include an introduction paragraph before doing that. They teach you that when writing a book. So that's what this paragraph is for.
    18 
    19 === Dependencies ===
    20 
    21 We'll probably list the dependencies and give a list of where to get them:
    22 
    23  * GTK+ - http://gtk.org
    24  * NSS - http://mozilla.org
    25  * Some other dependency - It's webpage
    26 
    27 You get the gist.
    28 
    29 === Building on Linux ===
    30 
    31 This one is easy. We just include one of those cute little "code" boxes:
    32 
    33 {{{
    34 ./autogen
    35 make
    36 sudo make install
    37 sudo ldconfig
    38 }}}
    39 
    40 Maybe we link to ["SomeOtherPage"] about what happens if the build fails.
    41 
    42 === Building on Windows ===
    43 
    44 I'm not even going to bother describing what might go here.
    45 
    46 Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
    47 
    48 That should suffice.
    49 
    50 == Oh, now we need to describe the API! ==
    51 
    52 This is probably just another set of links!
    53 
    54  * API: http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/
    55  * ["UsefulAPITutorial"]
    56 
    57 == And plugin writing ==
    58 
    59 More links!
    60 
    61  * How to write plugins!
    62 
    63 == And maybe how to use libgaim ==
    64 
    65 This probably goes to some other page, ["UsingLibgaim"], or something. Nonetheless, we should give a brief overview of it here, perhaps. Oh, and links:
    66 
    67  * An overview of ["CoreUiSplit"]
    68  * A useful tutorial creating some really simple UI can be found ["Here"]
    69 
    70 == Useful Resources ==
    71 
    72 Because I put no thought into this organization and made this shell of an outline only to make people chuckle, there are undoubtally a whole bunch of things that should go on this page that don't fit anywhere. For example:
    73 
    74  * Subscribe to get updates about ticket items: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tracker
    75  * Pidgin Planet: http://planet.pidgin.im
    76  * ["AndThis"]
    77  * ["AndThat"]
    78  * ["AndThis"]
    79  * ["AndThisToo"]
     9Contract out to logo designer. Should hear back soon
    8010
    8111== Pidgin Website ==
     
    8313Planning for a new PidginWebsite
    8414
    85 == Oh, yeah, pimp my book out ==
    86 
    87 Here I have a paragraph describing how great my book is. Maybe a picture of the cover and a link to the Amazon page.
