Goodbye Gaim, hello Pidgin

Gaim is (was?) an IM client for AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber and the sort built on GTK. A significant deal of Linux users are using it right now. Well, they were, because Gaim has been recently renamed to Pidgin because of a teeny-weeny legal problem with internet giant AOL and its horde of blood thirsty lawyers. The project also moved its home away from the classic Sourceforge subdomain to pidgin.im.

The name pidgin was chosen because it signifies (no, really) what Gaim does (did):

Wikipedia: A pidgin, or contact language, is the name given to any language created, usually spontaneously, out of two or more languages as a means of communication between speakers of different tongues, and usually a simplified form of one of the languages.

Gah. Hope they get their ass moving and fix the damn file transfer on Yahoo.
