Hey All, This is sort of an announcement that I've been working on a bonjour plugin for Kopete.
I've already finished quite a bit of the contact management, and users are added/removed from the contact list as they come online. A screenshot (and link to code) is here: http://tejasd.livejournal.com/24852.html The Plugin Depends on Avahi Running on DBus (It is the only way I know of to resolve a .local hostname. I don't know if I like depending on the nss_mdns module). I'm not sure how this will work with other mDNS implementations. Also, the way I see bonjour working is that only people online in your network should be in your contact list. For this, I tried to imitate what I like about pidgin. In essence, when I connect, I wipe out the contact list. I also wipe it out once when I disconnect (just in case). I'm not sure if this is a bad idea? Of course, by contact list, I mean bonjour contacts, and they are all neatly stacked in the Bonjour Group. I'm still to do the message sendin, which may not happen til after my exams (mid jan). I was also wondering what the procedure would be to get this code committed (after it's finished) as I'm a first time KDE contributor, and would likely need some kind of guide or something -- Tejas Dinkar http://gja.in _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
