Sorry, I will not drop Qt, that would mean rewrite the library.
I prefer doing bindings instead to Python, Ruby, and D-BUS.
Ok, this is a perfectly understandable design choice.
We've decided not to include this project to the list of our proposed projects because of this dependency: it would not be usable by a project that wouldn't want to include Qt into its dependency list.
It does not mean we think this project is a bad idea. We launched our Code Camp on Wednesday night, and there are some pretty interesting things to do, for those who would like to check out, please point your browser to http://www.openwengo.org/index.php/codecamp
I'm sorry that we can't collaborate this time, but I hope we'll be able to share ideas and source code later.
I wish you good luck with libpapillon and Kopete, and I thank everyone for your insightful suggestions !
Best regards,
