I just came across the following link:

Apparantly NLnet has some money left over, might be nice to apply if you
are knowledgeable of dnssec/dane and would like to add it to Adium,
Pidgin and perhaps others? Would be a nice addition imo!
It's really two projects,
1) DNSSEC / DANE support for the TLS certificates of the IM servers
2) OTRFP support
1) would be nice, although in theory, if the underlying crypto library
supports DNSSEC/DANE, then pidgin/adium does not need specific support
for it (and a project to get DANE in openssl is underway, and the gnutls
people are working on it too, just for nss I'm not sure what the plans
are)
2) is a short RFC, and not too much code, but it requires we first write
up OTR as an RFC, which is a much bigger task but Peter and I wanted to
get that started for some time now.
