Bug#418226: ITP: gaim-sip-exchange -- Gaim plugin to connect to LCS



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Anibal Avelar <aavelar@cofradia.org>


* Package name    : gaim-sip-exchange
 Version         : 1.0
 Upstream Author :  Anibal Avelar <aavelar@cofradia.org>
* URL             :   http://fixxxer.cc/blog-en/?page_id=19
* License         : GPL
 Programming Lang: C
 Description     :

SIP is another popular protocol used for VoIP, and it also has an IM
(Instant Messenger) analog in the form of SIP/SIMPLE. SIP/SIMPLE is an
open protocol with a documented specification. The Live Communication
Server (LCS) has support very similar the Sip/Simple protocol, but the
SIP implementation by MSN has non standard especifications. This gaim
plug-in gives that support and it was called SIPE (SIP Exchange).

The plugin today is functional and it works for Gaim-2beta5 (or newer).

It can do this:

   * Authentication type NTLM
   * Retrieve the contacts from the server (with groups)
   * Presence in both sides,
   * Send messages (text/plain) to other users

However, it has many things to do how:

   * Receive messages from other users
   * Change status from the UI interface.

Why the LCS? Because this Communications server is extensively used on
enterprise environments (like intranets, coorporative subnets, etc)
like Novell-wise, Lotus-SameTime or Oracle Messenger.
