Gaim renamed to pidgin

[adrian]

no joke brah.

Source

After a long, and unfortunately secret debate (as we could not say why we were looking at a name change, we ended up just doing this ourselves), we settled on the name "Pidgin" for gaim itself, "libpurple" for libgaim (which, as of 2.0.0 beta6, exists), and "Finch" for gaim-text. Yes, the spelling of "Pidgin" is intentional, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin.

brah, now we go stay talk pidgin on the internet.

I think it's a good name, and it makes sense.

Re: Gaim renamed to pidgin

I understand naming the program to pidgin, but why name the libraries purple? Not that many people actually search for the aps libraries once installed, but if they did how would they find them.
