Hey WolfRage and João, I'm just chiming in to say I'm really interested in helping out with OTR/Telepathy related stuff. I was a GSoC mentor 2 years ago for a student who implemented basic file-transfer support in libotr, so I know a bit about the protocol. I'm just finishing up school but will be around lots in the coming weeks. I'm hypatia on #telepathy if you want to ask me anything about OTR. I'll have a look over the spec on Wednesday when I'm done finals.
I'm so glad to see some momemtum building for OTR in Telepathy! -Leigh On 11-04-11 10:10 AM, WolfRage wrote: > João, > > I will give you what I know.
