I seem to recall that Sketch had some bugs that were highly dependent  
on the text system.  Did these get resolved?

Sounds very feasible.  And there was I, rushing to get things done by  
tomorrow ;)

I don't think I've ever done anything proactively...

Update:  It now works on Mac for Me, Jesse and Yen-Ju, on different  
Jabber servers, including Jesse's irritating broken one.  I think Yen- 
Ju was using Gmail.

Update: It (apparently) works for Yen-Ju on GNUstep too.  I think  
that's because he's updated to the latest GNUstep, and I haven't  
yet.  It should be okay to go into stable now.  I've done a lot of  
bug fixing in the last two days, and more use / testing would be  
helpful.

At some point, it might be a good idea to look at RSSKit and see if  
it should be sharing code (e.g. XML parser) with the Jabber stuff.   
Not yet though, because I am considering gutting my XML parser and  
replacing the innards with some Ragel stuff.  I'd also like to take a  
poke at Addresses at some point.  It lags a lot, usability-wise,  
behind its OS X counterpart, and this should be remedied.

I'm in the SILC channel most of the time I'm awake and near a  
computer, so feel free to poke me there.
