*** Original post on bio 500 at 2010-09-12 20:59:00 UTC *** The join chat menu could be improved by querying libpurple for a list of chat rooms available for the selected account and using an autofill and/or drop down list.

To expand on this, I see it as the "awesomebar": you type in part of the channel name or description and it gives you a list of options to choose from with the channel name on the top (like a page title in the awesome bar) and the description in smaller text below it, organized by some sort of weighting.

On the behalf of Florian: Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
