Brain drain's kept me from generating as much code as I'd need to start the series describing the rewrite of ACAim.  I'm slowly chugging along at it and will start posting once I'm a bit more comfortable with my progress.

My head's a little clearer now, so tomorrow I'm going to start a series on writing a plugin for the new Adapter in Decal.  Be warned now:  this series will be covering the redevelopment of ACAim from the ground up.  This will include all of the network code and message parsing.  The actual decal code will be very minor compared to the rest.  It should very much prove to be a learning experience for everyone.
