It would be great to see examples of existing telepathy plugins, but I don't know where to find this. Checked https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=maemo...hy+source+code but the results seem mostly irrelevant.

I don't know about examples but hopefully these links should help:

https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/

KDE has integration for Telepathy. If you run an "apt-cache search kde-telepathy" it should list related packages that you can use for testing.

yeah...
I did see a lot of kde telepathy results...but I tried to keep my search from going down that road and tried to aim for os agnostic telepathy if I couldn't find maemo specific

Indeed, it would be easier to install and test it with an application so you wouldn't have to install a whole desktop environment. The thing is, Telepathy is designed for desktop integration rather than app integration which is why you see it in Hildon and KDE but not Pidgin.

Pidgin on the other hand, doesn't support Telepathy plugins but it does provide libpurple which is like the equivalent of Telepathy for apps. Interestingly enough, there is a libpurple plugin for Telepathy which allows you to use Pidgin plugins. So the other route you could take would be to develop a Ring/Jami plugin for Pidgin and then run that under Telepathy using the libpurple plugin.

fascinating...
I thought libpurple was telepathy oriented ...hence pidgen...erp ...pidgin...was the reason why I suggested it ...since it is such a maemo common a function...(pidgin that is...)
