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.

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.

This isn't the same as the Kopete 0.7 plugin that was posted at Sourceforge, 
is it? I searched kopete-devel and found some discussion of it from around 
2003 (IIRC).
