[done] Proposal for an Adium plugin

Post by jvacek »

Hey guys, I didn't know where exactly should i post this, so i though this might be the best place.
I have next to no knowledge in programming, except for some Python knowledge so I sort of know the basics, but not enough to actually produce some good code.

So, my proposal is for someone to make a plugin which would open a new window when typing is detected from a user.
Seems simple to make, i guess it would be something along the lines of "if typing detected, open new chat tab with that user"
The main problem would be how do we know someone is typing to us, i was looking at the Map of Adium and i didn't really find anything helpful.

something similar is already in Pidgin as far as i know, as one of the plugins shipped with the official package
I am pretty sure people will like it, it's a seriously cool thing. Also, it's a tiny bit creepy, but just enough to be cool.

So i leave it up to you, community - take it or leave it.

Adium supports this out of the box. Preferences - Advanced - Messages: "Open chats as soon as contacts begin typing".
