I believe pidgin already has this support via pidgin-sipe plugin. How about support for MS Office Communicator as well? I believe pidgin already has this support via pidgin-sipe plugin.

It's one of the things I was most looking forward to. Maybe this is the wrong place to ask for this but did anything ever come of last years project to integrate jingle into kopete?

The complex part of the work is not really turning the chatwindow itself into a library, the problem is that it is making heavilly usage of some Kopete classes (like Kopete::MetaContact, as an example), so making it reusable by other applications requires some changes to make the participants info more generic.

That would leverage a LOT of effort. Since they are trying to convert into libraries, would it not make some sense to integrate with libpurple?

Kopete really needs some love because most KDE4 users prefer pidgin because it's more polished and less buggy overall. *sigh* Those sound like nice projects… Kopete really needs some love because most KDE4 users prefer pidgin because it’s more polished and less buggy overall. *sigh*
