There were sim-icq project
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sim-icq/ It is Instant Messenger program, with many nice features, it can work with ICQ Jabber AOL MSN and some others. and there were Debian package made of this project http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sim.html But there were no activity in sim-icq project for a long time, and Debian package sim have no maintainer for a year But some time ago a sim-icq fork appeared. This fork is called sim-im https://developer.berlios.de/projects/sim-im/ So I am interested in preparing Debian package of this project. I do not know whether it should be a new package with new name (sim-im), or we should put changers in existing sim package. Developers on sim-im said that the author of initial sim version just take some time for vocations, and may continue his work some time later. But I am not sure that it will happen... So first of all I need an advice what package name should I choose, Then I will need a Sponsor, who will check my work, give vise advises and upload the package into Debian package repository.
