Hi there,

just a short heads-up on my status.

I now got the plugin working to a point where it can do encrypted  
chat with Adium (and I therefore think with any otr-implementation).

Yeehaw. :-)

So this is Milestone a.

Whats left to do is:
- Find out why certain messages are swallowed in encrypted form, even  
though I handle them no different than unencrypted messages
     (the strange thing is, if I send them again, most of the times  
it works correctly)
- complete the implementation of the adapter layer so that libotr  
gets notified of all neccessary state-changes
     - are there some notifications somewhere where I can subscribe to?
- create a simple command-language to enable encrypted chat without  
resorting to the gui. I was thinking about something along the lines  
of "/otr-encryption enable" / "/otr-encryption disable"
- create a gui (or better, hooking into the existing gui for gpg- 
encryption)
- Enable internationalization for all the strings

Well, thats about it.

But that shouldn't take too long.

Now that completion starts to be seen on the horizon <g> how do you  
guys handle reviewing of something like this plugin?

I certainly need some headsup on how I smash the internals of Fire. :-)

Thats it for the moment, I'l go jogging now. :-)

cu Martin
