[Gaim-devel] Anyone having a try with skype (Gaim as a messaging UI through skype public api)?

[Martin O. <pah...@gm...>]

Hi!

Maybe I'm slightly insane but somehow I discovered skype to have its public
api: https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc

Could someone more familiar with the internals of Gaim give a quick look
over it and warn if there is any major difficulties in getting at least the
text messaging part to work through Skype protocol?

I do not know which one would be wiser: (a) to wait for gaim-vv; or (b) not
to look for Skype at all. The real problem is that soon almost as many
Estonians are skype users as there currently is MSN ones (and only a
minority has Google talk enabled).

The "public API" is just an IPC DBUS interface. It's GPL-compatible,
but not really that useful. You have to have Skype running and, at
that point, why even bother using anything else?
