    +Pidgin is a chat program which lets you log into accounts on multiple chat
    +networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on
    +XMPP and sitting in an IRC channel at the same time. Pidgin runs on Windows,
    +Linux, BSD, and other UNIX-like operating systems.
    +
    +Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box:
    +[Jabber/XMPP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP),
    +[Bonjour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software)),
    +[Gadu-Gadu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadu-Gadu),
    +[IRC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat),
    +[MicroFocus GroupWise Messenger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GroupWise)
    +(formerly from Novell), [HCL
    +Sametime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCL_Sametime) (formerly from Lotus/IBM),
    +[SILC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SILC_(protocol)),
    +[SIMPLE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMPLE_(instant_messaging_protocol)),
    +and [Zephyr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zephyr_(protocol)). It can support
    +many more with [plugins]({{<ref "plugins">}}).
    +
    +Pidgin supports many features of these chat networks, such as file transfers,
    +away messages, buddy icons, custom smileys, and typing notifications. Numerous
    +plugins also extend Pidgin's functionality above and beyond the standard
    +features.
    +
    +Pidgin is free and contains no ads. All our code is open source and licensed
    +under the GNU General Public License. This means you can get Pidgin's underlying
    +code and modify it to suit your needs, as long as you publish the changes you
    +make for everyone to benefit from as well.
    +
    +Pidgin is translated into many [different languages]({{<ref
    +"about/supported-languages">}}), thanks to the generous contributions of our
    +volunteer translators.
    +
    +Pidgin is a huge project that is under constant development. Releases are
    +usually frequent and driven by user contributions, such as
    +[issues](https://issues.imfreedom.org/issues/PIDGIN?u=1) and
    +[contributions]({{<ref "development/contributing/">}}).
