Package: pidgin-skype-common
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The recent launch of Skype for Web also introduced an HTTP API, removing
the need for the D-Bus plugin which is now deprecated [1].

>From what I gather the new skypeweb plugin [2] works fine with Skype logins,
but doesn't support MSN/Live logins yet. Would you consider bundling the
skypeweb plugin so users can choose which one to use?

It looks like there was already some activity to get it built on Debian [3]

Thanks,
Markus
