Hi, Some of my main projects are based on internet messangers. I created with success plugins which communicate with Skype API on Windows and Linux in clear Free Pascal. Now I decided to test SkypeKit which become Skype engine (without GUI) which doesn't need Skype client installed. But I am disappointed that multiplatform SkypeKit has support only for C++, Python and Java and doesn't have for multiplatform Free Pascal >:( I am wondering... maybe create some online petition to Skype? I think that support for Free Pascal in such big project like SkypeKit could be a good marketing for Free Pascal and Lazarus. I prepared some sketch:
"This petition is created by a community centered around Free Pascal and Lazarus, addressed to SkypeKit developers. Free Pascal is a professional open source Object Pascal compiler, and has the same idea as Skype(kit) project - to work on as many platforms as possible. For now it is available for 32/64 bit processors like: Intel x86, Amd64/x86_64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, Sparc, ARM. Supported operating systems: Linux, FreeBSD, Haiku, Mac OS X/Darwin, DOS, Win32, Win64, WinCE, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic), MorphOS, Amiga, Symbian and others. Lazarus IDE adds support for such interfaces like Windows API, GTK, QT, Cocoa, Carbon and Android. We are disappointed that such a rich and rapidly growing environment was omitted in SkypeKit project development. We postulate for support for Free Pascal. We believe that Free Pascal can fill a missing gap and compete on a par with such languages as C++, Python or Java, contributing to the growth popularity of Skype services. Best regards. Free Pascal & Lazarus community." Corrections are welcome (my English is not good). What do you think about this?
