What about just implementing the Skype chat protocol for now?

I know for example, I use Skype at work, however we don't use the phone capability in it. The UI on Skype is really a disaster. Personally I hate having 7 different conversation dialogs open when I'm talking to different people at work.

Isn't using Gaim that we all know and love apposed to the standard client, just to send an IM, what we're all about?
