Yeah, that's a good point. I'm sorry I didn't see this plugin, must be new and at the moment it isn't really fun to browse the licq website (if the domain is not reachable, why doesn't - at least - somebody replace the absolute links from the menu with relative ones?). Well then, I think, one part of the work will be to implement more functions in the RMS plugin, since this can act as the server. > I think that so far the only 'frontend' which really utilises the RMS > plugin is licqweb - http://whatsbeef.net/philip/licqweb/ - it allows you > to access your licq daemon from anywhere with a browser.

Then I might start a backend dummy which uses the RMS plugin to fetch its data and fakes a real backend to any frontend. > If you only want to be able to use the kde-gui or other 'frontend' gui > remotely, I think this would require a fair bit of work, and probably not > worth it. It would only be worth the effort if this would mean a general change in the backend to plugin communication. I don't want to code something parallel to the main icq stream, because that means much effort for maintaining the code and keeping it up to date. But as far as I have seen, some things can be done for the interface between backend and plugins. I'd like to start in this direction. Anyways, I am abroad until the end of march, so the work won't start before then. But I would like to get an overview on what is needed, what is wanted and what I can do.
