Oh god been a long time since I’ve blogged and my new blog is finally on Planet KDE

Let give some progress about libpapillon, which is a Qt4 library I’m working on to implement Windows Live Messenger 8 protocol. Since last week, I’m working on XML schemas and WSDL description of the MSN AddressBook webservice. WLM use this web service to retrieve the multiple contact lists (Allow, Block, Reverse, Pending) and the address book (which is now the Forward List). This is still a work in progress though. I never thought that I would have fun writing those XML Schemas, it’s a good thing because it’s generally a boring and dirty work.

All those web service work will lead me to kwsdl_compiler from kode(/trunk/KDE/kdepim/kode), which should be in kdepimlibs IMO, that really some love. There is gSOAP to generate WSDL bindings but I prefer working on a WSDL compiler that generate Qt code and also cleaner code. That make me also contribute to a part of KDE that need love too.
