If you have any questions, please ask in the comments and I'll answer quickly.Ī proposal of refactoring chat log to make its backend more flexible. I recently worked with Tomasz to change my project, so this proposal is a work in progress. I would like to spend this summer as Pidgin's maintenance hero-intern, working through stagnant or hairy bugs, implementing small XEPs that have been on the to-do list, and generally helping to make the 3.0.0 release as smooth and as soon as possible. The aim of this project to write a libpurple plugin to support Google Hangouts by implementing the Google+ Hangouts protocol. XMPP protocol is no longer supported by GTalk and Google has replaced GTalk with Google Hangouts which implements the proprietary protocol Google+ Hangouts.
