-We maintain two general-topics mailing lists for Pidgin, libpurple, and Finch. They are `devel@pidgin.im` and `support@pidgin.im` ([http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo Mailing Lists]).  Users and developers alike are welcome to post to these mailing lists.

 Initially `devel@pidgin.im` was the only list available, and handled all issues.  It will continue in this respect--development and support issues are welcome to this list.  Many of the issues discussed here are not development details, but instead things like usability and features.

 === What's with the name Pidgin, anyway? ===
-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pidgin|Pidgin] is not, in fact named after so-called "rats with wings," but rather it refers to a special type of "broken" language used by speakers of different languages to communicate.  We thought this name fit well with the purpose of Pidgin.

 Many have subsequently pointed out that the use of carrier pigeons for transmission of messages fits nicely with Pidgin's functionality as well.
 
 === What's with the name libpurple, anyway? ===
-The use of the term purple is another [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homonym|homonym] of sorts.  Long ago, we started referring to protocol plugins by an abbreviated name "PrPl" which we would pronounce in the same manner as the color.  Since libpurple provides primarily an interface for using protocol plugins to access a variety of IM networks, it seemed reasonable that we name the library after the pronounciation.
