I feel like blogging today =)

For KDE4, I decided to rewrite the MSN plugin, which is now named Messenger plugin. Why Messenger ? Well you have MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger and now Windows Live Messenger(rebrand of MSN Messenger), the name in common ? Messenger.

This time, I’m doing it the right way (well I’m hope =)). I already began working on it in SVN, taking shape as a separate Qt4 only library that implement the Windows Live Messenger protocol. Windows Live Messenger is in beta stage, but when KDE4 will be out, Windows Live Messenger 8 will be out.

The library use the CoreProtocol/Task/Stream architecture that liboscar, libkyahoo and libiris(Jabber) use. I named this library “libpapillon”, papillon is the French word for butterfly.

Of course help is always appreciated. Help on research on MSNP13 protocol is encouraged
