I'm the packager for gaim-otr/pidgin-otr. I do hope that pidgin can be build for the Openmoko. I haven't looked at the required effort though. Paul
well... I don't think we want to take the whole application: our window manager is designed for full/half screen applications, and doesn't do multiple windows so well. I'm thinking that a new GUI frontend over the top of libpurple would be way more efficient than trying to squeeze all of pidgin completely in. I've only been over their code in a really cursory way (browsed looking for a solution to problems in other code) but the announcements say that all the important stuff has been isolated into libpurple. that said, we might want to go for tighter integration into the core apps. adding new protocols is supposed to be fairly easy... what about adding a protocol for SMS? again, I haven't really looked at the code, but I've been through the buddy list xml, and it seems we should pull those contacts into the openmoko contact manager. what this is all kind of leading up to is running SMS similarly to those pictures of the iphone: more of a conversation style, but integrated with other communication (conversation could seamlessly move between IM and SMS depending on availability) personally, I think if we can get that up and running, I'd make it my SMS program of choice -- Jeff O|||||||O
