Comment (by ebx):

 It kind of sounds like the pidgin development team doesn't release
 anything in the way of standards for contributors. Is that a fair
 observation?

 I know there is a Coding Standards page, but it's pretty light and doesn't
 cover anything in the way of the things mentioned above.

 I guess my point is it's a bit of a downer for people trying to make
 pidgin better to have nothing much to go on until after it's been reviewed
 and (imo) somewhat poo-poo'ed.

 This is a great addition to pidgin, should be boiler plate by now and
 rather than being met with vague criticisms, should be encouraged and
 helped into the codebase.

 My two cents. We can always patch and build independently. Yet, how many
 people who use other multi-protocol clients are used to sound
 notifications for mail and don't find it with pidgin?

 And for the record, having looked over a lot of the pidgin code, I can't
 say I see what I would call true standards being adhered to throughout the
 build, so I'm kind of mystified by all this.
