I know Adium records chats in the program, but does it also record in the logs in parental controls?

Sadly, Apple has not given us any way to interface with the Parental Controls settings. We're investigating whether we'll be able to do so despite that ;)

Has there been any progress on this?

I really like Adium, and how it consolidates all the different Chat services. However, I'd also like to exert "Parental Control" on my kids' iMacs.

BTW: Parental Control on iChat was a GREAT help in identifying and later prosecuting a "Spanner" who was trying to entice my 11yo. daughter into "funny" chats. Therefore it is more than just a wishful thinking to have such features in Adium.

Apple / Steve: If you guys read this, please make sure that the developer community gets access to the Parental Control APIs in order to increase the security of our Kids.
