I'm acknowledged in the cyberworld as Akronix and I'm a GSoc 2015 Student for pidgin.

My project consists in porting libpurple changes from Instantbird to the original pidgin's libpurple.

This project also will have in consideration other projects using libpurple such the ones listed here.

   • PurpleCommandsUiOps?
   • PurpleGetTextUiOps?
   • PurplePrefsUiOps?

2. Merge improvements by Instanbird made in the following:
   • Account management: accounts.c
   • Core: core.c

3. Use preprocessor macros for disabling the following features of libpurple:
   • (todiscuss) nss encryption - certificate.h
   • logging, status management: idle, available.. - log.h util,
   • media local definitions - blist.h
   • xml configuration files (related code). accounts.c , prefs.c,...
