+Pino may be dead or dieing, but it is still a very popular client for 
+Identi.ca. I find it a very good client, as a result I strongly believe 
+that it should definitely stay in the repos for Mageia 2.
+
+If Pino is no longer made I think it would be good for many distros to 
+still provide it in their repos for at least another year
+
+Also looking at things from a user point of view, I think that many 
+computer users don't mind using old software that is no longer 
+maintained as long as they can still use it for it's intended purpose. I 
+think that for myself and many other people that use Identi.ca  Pino is 
+an example of this.
+
+Unfortunately at the moment though in my install of Mageia 2 Alpha 1 
+with the latest updates, I can't install Pino using RPMdrake, because:
+
+Sorry, the following package cannot be selected:
+
+- pino-0.2.11-1.mga1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libnotify.so.1)
+
+As for other clients that could be provided in the repos there's Gwibber 
+and Hotot and so on.
+
+P.S
+
+This is my first email to this mailing list or any Mageia mailing list, 
+and I think any mailing list in general.
