    Works really well. It'd be nice though if there was a binary distro available for Windows users. Getting a build going from source on Windows is a pain.

    This plug-in is well-developed, and more than suits a need, it attempts to integrate all the functions of the parent software in a way that is meaningful and useful for those using it as an alternative to the OEM client. Highly responsive developers (pier11 is awesome), and a good user base mean that updates are a good mix of enhancements and fixes. I never hear that someone doesn't have the time to work on something. I never have to wait long for a fix or an enhancement to go to production. Users don't have to kvell over the software before they can get help. Users ask intelligent questions and give good feedback to developers. It's really a good project with an approachable community.

    Works great on RHEL5. Both Pidgin and this plugin compiled from source. I used the following 'configure' options/script to compile SIPE plugin. I had to experiment a bit to get these right, since this is on a machine where I do not have root privileges and cannot have latest of all the prerequisites : http://gist.github.com/246508. Hope this helps the only 'thumbs down' reviewer!

    Works perfectly. Great work! I'm using the precompiled version 1.7.0-1 from the Ubuntu PPA archive: https://launchpad.net/~aavelar/+archive/ppa

    It just works out-of-the-box. Version used: 1.7.0. :)

    quite bad not to have a MacOS plugin compiled by default. it is quite difficult for average users to build this one from source code

    For Windows users, please use the 1.9.1 version, which can be downloaded there : http://sourceforge.net/projects/sipe/files/sipe/pidgin-sipe-1.9.1/

    Please I need some help. I recently installed pidgin and I love it. I also have office communicator at work and now want to use that within pidgin. I downloaded the tarball file but I'm not sure what to do with the contents of the file. Which directories of pidgin to copy the files to. ANy help would be appreciated. Novice Steve

    Very important plugin for me. There is no alternative.

    I've been using version of SIPE since they started publishing it... Only complaint is that I'd love to see SIPE in a base install of Pidgin, if that is possible, to make it easier for more folks to utilize and a little less work to stay up-to-date on.

    Once I read the faq on how to replace files that no longer exist in the default Pidgin install, it works like a dream. This plugin was the main reason I decided to switch to Pidgin, since I hated having Trillian AND my Office Communicator open.

    A great weapon against that boring "You need to use Windows because all your coworkers use it" argument. Thanks a lot!

    If the rest of your company uses OCS and you want to use Linux this helps set you free.

    An extremely valuable tool to allow people to continue using Linux rather than be forced onto Windows

    Still in development, but if you can get it compiled and installed it's worth it.
