Hi, First, I must say that I have already discussed with Guillaume (aka cassidy) on irc #wormux-fr
I'm mostly in favor of telepathy integration. It seems great :) I don't think the maintenance will be that hard if Telepathy API is greatly done. Code could probably be mostly isolated. Of course it's sad that Telepathy is nearly Linux only but people have to choose the right operating system :p Since I will be at Fosdem too, I hope to talk alive with Guillaume :) Regards, Matt (gentildemon) Le 25/01/2010 22:36, Guillaume Desmottes a écrit : > Le lundi 25 janvier 2010 à 22:05 +0100, Florian Köberle a écrit : > >> Hello Guillaume Desmottes, >> >> >>>> + An advanced version of such a plugin could check which of the players >>>> have the Wormux port open.
