Yes.  We will impliment Chat and Conferencing at the same time.

Understood.  The original libyahoo was not used by Gaim either        
(although it was used as a reference for the old Yahoo protocol)      
                                                                      
Gaim started using the new protocol in October or November, shortly   
after Yahoo started using it.  We started using the new authentication
routine in April, one week after they started blocking Indians using  
the old one.                                                          
                                                                      
It is this block on India which caused Philip Tellis to move our code 
to EB and then later release it as a "library"
