@ebassi I took over the lead position to fix something I pushed for that I believe was one of the main reasons that stalled the project for so long. We're just now starting to make progress after fixing that error and paying back all the tech debt that came from the decision.

That decision was making libpurple a gobject based library. In hindsight from the last 18 years.. creating a new library would have been a better move but there's so much history for pidgin/purple that it had to be fixed.
