The avatar code currently sitting in galago-daemon and libgalago is
incomplete, and will likely be removed until after the first release.
I haven't had time to complete it, but it's on the list for the second
release.

I know that you're working on the evolution presence bounty. I've been
aiming for that as well (although that's not the reason for Galago's
existence). Are you still proposing your gaim-specific patch, or will
you be making another bounty patch using Galago? Personally, even
though I'm a gaim developer, I've never agreed with the bounties that
made gaim a requirement. Generic solutions are always best, so as long
as Evolution uses something that doesn't require a specific IM client,
I'm happy :)

I have some of my Evolution code in the patches/ module in svn. The
rest isn't there yet, but the Evolution<->Galago integration is
nearly done. When I have the time, I'll put up the rest. Work's just
been busy lately.

   Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with a seat
   missing, but it hurts.
