Title:  	 Better chat log viewer
Student: 	Adam Fowler
Abstract: 	I propose that I can improve the current log viewer.

Here is a link to the current look of the log:

Here is a link to how I think it should look:

    * I want to improve the UI for the log viewer, remove redundancy of some aspects, and streamline features into a more easily understandable method.  Also, I think there should be a "sort by" feature for the searching of the log. 

 

    * Difficult parts of this project will be finding the grouping by person.  I feel this may require some linkage on the users part, as not everyone has similar contact informations.  Such as: "'markdoliner' on AIM and 'mark.doliner@…' on XMPP".  

In short, at the end of the summer, pidgin's log viewer WILL be more user friendly, and generally a bit better organized. 
It may also have a sorting feature.
