Hello Albert,

here is status of each "plugin" branch in kopete:

* plugin-cryptography-doc
This is only temporary branch, because it was hard to write rules 
for svn2git... and this will be merged into plugin-cryptography.

* plugin-cryptography
This branch contains cryptography plugin. All problems were fixed 
and this plugin is stable again. So it will be merged to master 
(if nobody will be against) after 4.11 branch will be created (so 
it will not be part of 4.11).

* protocol-skype-kde3 and protocol-skype-kde3-stable
These branches contains historic kde3 version of skype plugin. 
kde4 version is based on this branch (and merged into master), 
but not based on last commit. There is no future development for 
kde3 plugin, so it does not make sense to move it to new git 
repo.

* protocol-telepathy
This situation is quite complicated and this branch needs to be 
removed, replaced or merged with version which is in this repo:
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kopete-protocol-telepathy.git
I will ask maintainers of that repo, what to do...

* plugin-smpppdcs
This is the only one candidate for separate repo. Albert, I can 
request for playground/network repository and move it he.
