Q: When is $random_feature going to be implemented? -A: Please do consult doc/TODO (preferably in a development snapshot, which - is more up-to-date than a TODO in a release version) before asking. - Please also check the documentation. You'd not be the first one to request - a feature which already exists! - - If your fabulous feature seems not to be requested before, just join - #bitlbee on irc.oftc.net and tell us the news. - - If your feature request is already in the TODO list, of course you can - still request it again/make us know that you'd like to see the feature as - well. But when the feature is in the "post-1.0" list, it's probably not - going to help. Most of the features in this list are low-priority because - we (the developers) don't need (or even want) them. (File transfers are a - good example here.) - Hence, they'll only be implemented when we really got too much spare - time. Obviously, if you're willing to help (i.e. submit a patch), you're - always welcome. +A: It depends on the feature. We keep a list of all wishlist "bugs" in our + Bug Tracking system at http://bugs.bitlbee.org/ Q: The messages I send and/or receive look weird. I see weird characters and annoying HTML codes. Or, BitlBee does evil things when I send messages with non-ASCII characters! A: You probably have to change some settings. To get rid of HTML in messages, - see "help set html". If you seem to have problems with your charset, see - "help set charset". + see "help set strip_html". If you seem to have problems with your charset, + see "help set charset". + + Although actually most of these problems should be gone by now. So if you + can't get things to work well, you might have found a bug. Q: Is BitlBee forked from Gaim? A: BitlBee 0.7 was, sort-of. It contained a lot of code from Gaim 0.58 |
