+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:
+
+- **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.)
