Hi,
we always welcome tips and ideas for ways to enhance Licq. However, I
wouldn't expect to see RetroShare supported in Licq anytime soon.
After a quick search it seems that RetroShare neither has a clear
protocol specification nor a separated library to let other applications
use the protocol.
I did find the following in their wiki though:
"RetroShare uses a very simple IM chat system at the moment. This should
be extended to make features such as "Groups", History etc possible
within RetroShare. This is probably best acheived via using some
existing messenger protocol. If none exists, a new one should be designed."
This clearly indicates that the RetroShare protocol is still in
development, making it even harder to keep a working implementation as
it will likely required a lot of maintaining as the protocol changes.
Also, Licq is an instant messenger client where as RetroShare main
purpose seems to be file sharing.
That being said, anyone wanting to implement a RetroShare plugin for
Licq is of course welcome to do so. As development have been slow for
quite some time I don't think any of the current developers will take on
a task like this, but we will of course provide what help we can to
anyone who wants to develop for Licq.
