The whole idea of the AbiWord collaboration plugin rewrite[1] was that it could use different backends without imposing any restrictions on how data communication or presence handling would be done. So any backend that 1) I can use from C or C++ and 2) which will give me some kind of send() recv() equivalent (in the broadest sense of the word) will do. Bonus points if it can integrate into the glib main loop (this is not required at all, just convenient!) and if it can pass presence information in any way which I can use from C or C++. A telepathy backend will be on my TODO list as soon as someone pokes me telling the API is stable (sortof). I'd like to start implementing this rather sooner than later, because as always with abstractions, I'm not 100% sure my idea of how this will all work matches other peoples ideas :) I think it will though by having talked to some of the telepathy guys.
