Sorry if this is too early to start to point out mistakes, but the first/second sentences are extremely redundant. One of them needs to go, preferably the first.

neah.. you are right..


so what about making:

"Adium X is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Mac OS X. Adium supports multiple protocols, allowing you to communicate on many services from within a single application."

into:


"Adium X is an instant messaging client for Mac OS X. Adium X supports multiple protocols, allowing you to communicate on many services from within a single application."


or do you have a better suggestion?

That sounds good to me, strifer. Start out with the very basics (Adium is an instant messenging (is that even a word? I know messenger is, but messenging?) client), then in the second sentence, talk about multi-protocol.

Yeah, you did, my bad, my "is that even a word" comments were directed at my own sentence, not yours. I always mix up messaging and messenging (the latter not being a word, I assume) so it's my fault.

Hi Strifer,

could you please upload the source file of which you created the pdf somewhere? So we can already begin translating the guide to other languages.

I hate doing this. Avatar policy: one person per avatar. I know you made your own, but Son of a Preacher Man already is using an incredibles duck. Sorry.
Ducks for everyone!
