[edit] MSN / WLM Interface Plugin
StatusNet Google Summer Of Code 2010
[edit] Introduction
Whilst XMPP is a popular protocol among more technical users; Windows Messenger is very popular among those with less technical skills who may otherwise not use the chat interface functions. I believe that implementing a Windows Messenger plugin would open the chat interface functions to a new audience of users.
