I would start by analysing how one of the existing simple plugins like web presence (very simple, my first kopete code) or now listening (since this works on the message processing level). Then have a look at how Cryptography works. > > Are you targeting kde 3 or 4? > > Haven't thought about that so far ;-) > I know that the QT version KDE 4 uses is different, but are there > differences in the parts I will be using?

KDE 4 will be a bit frustrating as Kopete has many problems of its own to be solved, but will ultimately have the longer lifespan. If you have time I would develop on KDE 3 first then port. > I'm looking forward to my first contribution to an open source project :-) > Thanks in advance! Great, good to have you on board!
