No way we drop ANY platform... not even in the beta phase, we want windows beta testers too! For now I think it concludes our previous discussion in the other thread about a libmsn vs. a CM for telepathy... in this case, we'll create a libmsn and we'll have it wrapped into Tcl functions, we'll have a one application caling function APIs (Tcl stubs calling the C libmsn functions)... and once and if telepathy gets to the state where it is 100% multiplatform, THEN we'll reconsider it..
note also that the plugins will be Tcl code and they will be given a detailed API that they can use to perform their tasks, no functionality is lost...
