BarnOwl is a curses-based IM client used by many MIT students. Work you do here will be appreciated by many excited BarnOwl users. Here are some projects to work on:
+- **More tab completion**. BarnOwl supports tab completion for a subset of its commands. Enlarge this subset; it's not particularly hard.
+
- **Google Plus support**. Google Plus recently published an [API](http://developers.google.com/+/api/). Integrate it with BarnOwl! We have lots of other plugins adding support for things like Facebook and Twitter which you can use to get some inspiration. A subproject would be making Perl bindings for the Google Plus API.
-- **Facebook direct message support*. We recently landed Facebook support in the trunk, but it only supports messaging on walls. Add support for direct messages.

+- **GMail new message support**. Now you can obsess over your new emails in realtmie! Add support for GMail's notification API: http://code.google.com/apis/talk/jep_extensions/gmail.html (see our existing XMPP bindings.)
+
+- **Setup [gerrit](http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/)**. We've been talking about moving from github to gerrit, which seems to have a better code review model, but we haven't had the chance nor time to set one up.
+
+- **Solve and close some trac tickets**. We have a bunch of [open issues on trac](http://barnowl.mit.edu/query). Look through them and pick one to work on. In particular, [#119](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/119), [#122](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/122), [#156](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/156), [#162](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/162), [#167](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/167), [#192](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/192), and possibly [#17](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/17), [#193](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/193), [#194](http://barnowl.mit.edu/ticket/194) all seem fairly reasonable for someone not particularly familiar with the code.
