- inkdraw
- wink

I’ll update this list incrementally.

Have you thought of simply modifying any other QT existing clients? Kopete and KMess come to mind. I’m more of a GTK kind of guy, but if QT is going to be superior then no holds barred.
I’ve also thought of porting some of the aMSN code to another client (gaim, actually), but it’s tedious. On the features I’d love to implement in any other client are:
* double avatar, and of configurable sizes.
* animated avatars! (i know, it’s not in the official but who stops us from using animated gifs or png’s?)
* emoticons, and custom emoticons (animated too).
* nickname, personal message, too.
* skinnable interface
* inkdraw
I’m not too for winks…
Anyway, if you need help feel free to mail me
OH, and densou’s a great name for an IM client
Keep it up!
