ITP: tnt -- An AIM client for Emacs
Sorry, I forgot to CC this to debian-devel:
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
TNT is an Emacs client for AIM, AOL's free instant messaging service.
Using TNT, you can, from the comfort of your Emacs window, check
whether friends and coworkers are online, send them "instant
messages", and join them in multi-party private chat sessions.
You can find TNT at
http://tnt.sourceforge.net/
Preliminary packaging is at
