Here is the [TURTLES checklist :turtle:](https://github.com/jamesread/TURTLES) \n\nA \"TURTLE\" checklist serves as a helpful reminder for those finding the project later, as a reminder for why it was archived. You can read more about [the TURTLES checklist](https://github.com/jamesread/TURTLES) :turtle: \n\n**T — Technologists**: Did enough people contribute to maintaining this project? Developers, Architects, Security, Operations?\n- Developers: Only James\n- Interesting?: No, very simple utility plugin.\n- More/Less?: 1 person was enough. \n\n**U — Users**: Did this project have enough active users?\n- Who?: I think only I used this plugin!\n- How many?: Just me\n- Marketing: Not really something that many people wanted - no point in marketing it.\n\n**R — Requirements**: Was this project still doing what we set out for it to do?\n- Original requirements met?: Yep\n- Scope creep?: None\n- Roadmap: Nothing\n\n**T — Technology**: Are there any unsustainable technologies behind this project?\n- Sustainability: Pidgin seems reasonably well maintained, with packages for all modern distros still, but perhaps has less users now-a-days. It seems g++ compiles with several warnings now.\n- Changes?: Limited by the pidgin API\n- Dependencies frozen?: Doesn't seem much point - see Pidgin.\n- Outdated dependencies?: It seems Pidgin relies on some older GTK versions, but nothing major.\n\n**L — Learning**: Was anything being learned by maintaining this project? (See my article about Odyssey projects — sometimes “just coding to learn” is enough of a reason to keep a project going).\n- Developers: Nothing too much, as the base code was copied from another plugin (with permission)\n- Operators: N/A\n- Project managers: N/A\n- Budget/Finance: N/A\n- Business: N/A\n\n**E — Ecosystem**: Is there an alternative to writing this project?\n- Alternative approach?: Nope, this project is tied to Pidgin.\n- Alternative tech/Open Source?: N/A\n- Duplication?: No other plugins exist that do this as far as I know.\n\n**S — Salvage**: Can anything useful be salvaged from this project?\n- Reuseable code?: It's a very small project, nothing reusable it seems.\n- Forkable?: I borrowed code from the leftify-tabs plugin, if you find something here useful, please go for it :-) \n- Reusable non-tech?: N/A\n\n# pidgin-order-tabs plugin\n\nThis is a copy of \"leftify tabs\" which can be found here - copied with permission from the original author: \nhttps://github.com/nablaa/pidgin-leftify-tabs-plugin \n\nOrder conversation tabs alphabetically. Tabs are ordered on startup, \nuse the `/ordertabs` in any chat to order your tabs anytime. This plugin has no\noptions.\n\n## Compiling and installing the plugin\n\nInstall pre-requisite `pidgin-devel` and `libpurple-devel` packages. \n\nfor Fedora:\n\n\tsudo yum install pidgin{,-devel} libpurple-devel make gcc\n\nfor Ubuntu:\n\n\tsudo apt-get build-dep pidgin\n\tsudo apt-get install pidgin-dev libpurple-dev\n\nCompiling the plugin\n\n\tmake\n\nInstalling the plugin to `~/.purple/plugins/`\n\n\tmake install\n\nEnable plugin *Order Tabs* from Pidgin plugins list.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjamesread%2Fpidgin-order-tabs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjamesread%2Fpidgin-order-tabs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjamesread%2Fpidgin-order-tabs/lists"}
