== Ideas ==
 * Migrate the C Plugin Howto to the wiki?  Asked about in the XMPP conference.
   * This is in progress (strike-through formatting as each area is completed):
     * ~~CHowTo/BasicPluginHowto~~
     * ~~CHowTo/PluginActionsHowTo~~
     * ~~CHowTo/ChoosingPluginIds~~
     * ~~CHowTo/DebugAPIHowTo~~
     * ~~CHowTo/NotifyAPIHowTo~~
     * CHowTo/RequestAPIHowTo
     * CHowTo/SignalsHowTo
   * We need people who can do How-To's for Perl, Tcl, and Mono plugins. 
 * ~~Include a Plugins wiki page that can be edited and show third-party plugins.~~  Done.
 * New structure within .purple for UI and plugin benefit:
   * `pixmaps` subdirectory - Allow plugins installed to .purple to have a standardized pixmap location
   * `themes` subdirectory - Standardized location for smiley themes (obviously we need a migration path here), notification themes (for when Guifications 2.x gets absorbed into Pidgin), status icon themes, message themes/styles, and sound themes (which make sense given other existing and intended theme support).
      * `themes/notifications` for Guifications themes
      * `themes/sounds` for sound themes
      * `themes/smileys` for smiley themes
      * `themes/messages` for message styles/themes.
   * Some related API within libpurple:
     * Make the list of each type of themes available to UIs and plugins.
     * Make the contents of each theme available, perhaps via GList or hash table.
     * Both of the above make any UI or plugin wishing to do so to take advantage of a standardized theme format with a well thought-out and implemented access system already pre-made for them.
   * Standardize theme formats (would need buy-in from Adium, I suspect) such that we have a standard XML format that we could easily include a theme editor plugin or standalone application for.
     * Let's go ahead and change the Guifications themes to match the new status API.  There are a lot of deficiencies in that theme format since it was based on the old status system and hasn't yet been updated to take advantage of the new system.
     * Let's change the smiley theme format, too.  We can maintain backwards compatibility with the existing format if desired.
     * We can provide theme migration functionality to update themes to the new formats where practical and possible.
 * ~~Wikify ChangeLog and ChangeLog.win32, in a similar vein to the suggestion in #3213.~~  Done.
