Comment 115 for bug 296867

Hi Anand,
I have pulled back work on a pythonic fix for the Telepathy OTR situation. But before I did that João Paulo Rechi Vita started advancing my work and has since completed all of the spec work for OTR. He is now building the Telepathy Gabble OTR code and will then finish the Empathy hooks that will be needed for OTR support. Gabble is the Connection manager for Jabber and Google Chat. He hopes to have all of his work wrapped up by the end of this month. His website is here: http://jprvita.wordpress.com/

He is a more seasoned developer than I and he was able to communicate with the Telepathy Developers better and faster than I was able to. Sorry for bugging out, but the pace of his work far out paced my work. But I am still watching developments for this project and will ensure it gets completed, but I am pretty sure João has got it.

Once his work becomes a solid spec I may still go back and finish the Python version which will add support for MSN. I also think that porting his code from Gabble to Haze should not be too difficult, which should round out the the IM OTR support.
