Comment(by drunknmunky):

 I've been using it for a couple days now and although it's a start, there
 are a few more features needed before it can be released.

 Conversations: Right now, if I have a conversation on another computer
 (WLM), it shows up as 2 separate conversations in Pidgin: 1 with messages
 from the person I'm talking to and 1 with messages that I write.  The
 conversation will also stop receiving any messages at all sometimes.

 Status: If the status is changed in Pidgin, other MSN locations' status
 changes as well.  However, the reverse is not true: changing the status at
 another MSN location does not change Pidgin's status.

 Multiple location management: It is not immediately obvious that the "View
 Locations" heading provides the opportunity to sign out of the other
 locations.  Perhaps a submenu providing the opportunity to sign out of
 each/all locations and another entry to modify Pidgin's location name
 would work better.

 Friendly name: Same problem as status: changes in Pidgin propagate to
 other clients but changes in other clients do not change the name in
 Pidgin.

 Emoticons: I was able to use emoticons - I'm assuming you're referring to
 custom emoticons when you say it can't send/receive them. Didn't have the
 opportunity to test this.

 Adding to contact list: Didn't have the opportunity to test adding
 someone.

 FYI, I'm testing with the newest WLM running on another computer and the
 SVN version of aMSN and the msnp16 branch of Pidgin running locally.
