Well, it's good to know they use a well-known protocol. I tried out GNOME for a few months here recently, and I used the Gaim iChat plugin. I'll be looking at it as a reference. > However for internet chat, I am pretty sure they use OSCAR/AIM Yes, I'm just going to do like Gaim does--basically lets you see iChat and Gaim users with Bonjour enabled on your local network. Gaim doesn't use anything related to iChat for Internet chat, and from what I can tell a user's AIM screenname is one of the TXT records for the iChat service record, but my informal poking around with the avahi-discover program showed that Gaim didn't fill in this record. > I will be happy to help in whatever I can remember of the mDns stuff, and > our Belgium Jabber hero Olivier will for sure assist you with the Jabber > part.

I searched kopete-devel and found some discussion of it from around 2003 (IIRC). - -- Andrew Barr | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/~andrew/ "And now for something completely different." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEhg9whuM+Z62a52oRAnETAKDX54k/6FvAw65jwYk+29+2zsTUVgCg1YKL 3mHAyHqPAJQmTdkGCA50eoQ= =BBjY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
