While this is technically better, it's also much more complex to do. If you don't have much programming experience it might be easier to take a two-step approach of writing a standalone proof-of-concept plugin first and then either merge the two or write the combined plugin by using the experienced gained from the standalone plugin. The dual approach is eventually more work, but the individual steps involved may (or may not) match your skill level better. I don't know the GPG plugin's code, so I can't tell if it's easily extendible with extra protocols or needs major refactoring first. If it does, it will not be easy for a newcomer to extend it with OTR. Just my two cents. And whether you are doing a new plugin or build upon the existing one, in any case welcome to the team! -- Martijn What if you're happy and you don't know it? _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
