good evening,

some of you might know the xfire protocol
usually it was designed just for the xfire chat client - which is
often used by "gamers"

sadly there's no xfire protocol plugin for kopete yet

to make it short:
I want to develop an xfire protocol plugin for kopete
I just have two problems:
-I don't know c++ very well yet (and thus developing QT stuff is hard for me)
-I basically know nothing of the kopete API

the main problem is task #2 - the kopete API

I already thought about how I could develop this plugin and I came to
the conclusion that it would be more efficient if someone could help
me
it would be really nice if there was someone, who knew the kopete API
and some c++
I thought that this "person" be my "mentor" (or however you want to call it)
he could write some basic kopete plugin stuff, and maybe some method
stubs (just the stubs!)
I would code the rest then (which means I will make kopete talk to xfire)

Of course we need to set some small development rules, such as the
used coding style (often there are simple style differences which
makes code look totally weird to someone else)

Oh, and the guy who is willing to help needs to be very patient with
me - sometimes I'm a bit strange (like almost every developer... :))

PS: I mentioned "xfirelib" before - you can grab it here:
http://xfirelib.sphene.net
I know that project is dead, but I made it compile with gcc 4.3
(wasn't difficult) plus it still works (at least the functions I
tried) - note: the coding style is pretty dirty, I used astyle to make
it readable
also gfire could be used as reference: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gfire
it's not developed actively (or at least not that actively) - but it
still might be a good reference

Regards,
Martin
