Gaim becomes PidginGaim becomes PidginPosted Apr 9, 2007 16:53 UTC (Mon) by flewellyn (subscriber, #5047)Parent article: Gaim becomes Pidgin
While I think the reason for the name change is unfortunate, the actual name is much better. The "GAIM" name left people with the idea that this was only an AIM client, while the truth is that GAIM...sorry, Pidgin...is a highly flexible, multi-protocol client.
But also, the name "Pidgin", which of course means a trade or contact language, brings to mind the role of the program in bringing together multiple IM protocols and contact lists in one place.
So really, I think the new name may be for the best.
