package: wnpp severity: wishlist Barnowl can be obtained from http://barnowl.mit.edu/. It is a fork of owl, which is already in Debian. Barnowl adds Jabber and IRc support and fixes many bugs providing a new extensibility architecture. I've discussed my plans to package barnowl with the Owl maintainer (Mark Eichin). he supports barnowl being packaged for Debian. At some future point it may be desirable to remove owl. Today though we both believe that would be a big transition for the owl community The main body of barnowl is distributed under the following license: From owl.c: /* Copyright (c) 2004 James Kretchmar.
