Well there is this site which has a lot of information: http://developer.skype.com/public-api-reference#Linux also i have a python script, that i had found on the internet, which can be used to answer a call. It uses the dbus API. I just added possibility to call, however i can call only a specific username. If by pressing the "Make Call" button in the telepathy contact-list we could take the skype-username of that contact, then we can pass it to the dbus command and start a call;) (However starting video calls is not possible. Someone should start a voice call, and then enable video.) I could send you the python script if you want it. _______________________________________________ KDE-Telepathy mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy
