Meego? So, this won't run on N900, as originally planed? :/

I thought this would be implemented as a telepathy plugin; is this going to be a standalone applicaiton, instead of integrating with maemo?
This means you'll have to re-write dozens of things that are already written for maemo, and much less integration. Why did you end up doing it as a standalone applicaiton?




You know, from day 0, I said I was a python programmer, and could lend a helping hand in developing this application. I've also offered info on what I know on telepathy, pidgin-plugins, and xmpp, but I've been ignored from day 0 as well.
It ashames me that this has been developed behind closed doors, instead of being develped on a public repository where anyone can contribute.

It also seems a shame to have another daemon, and to re-implement the entire IM UI, instead of using the one provided with the OS, and have tighter integration, considering that someone was volunteering to help implement this before the proyect even started.
Is this really the community spirit that's left here at maemo.org?
