Hi, I'm currently working on OTR integration into 3.0.0 tree. I see three possible solutions for it: - enabling it by default: otr plugin seems to be well written and doesn't cause crashes, so it won't be the new source of stability problems. I just have one concern in mind: it will alter UI a bit, in a way that vast majority of users won't utilize - it will be a clutter for them - to track for "?OTRvxx?" tag (it indicates an OTR packet) in messages and ask user, if he wants to enable the plugin. It would show up only, when Pidgin was built with otr support. Also, after the first query, it would set a hidden pref, so it won't ask the user again. I think this will cover all use cases, because for incoming messages it will be easy to set it up. User, who would like to start an outgoing OTR conversation (for the first time), will be experienced enough to enable it manually. - disabling it by default: I don't see any advantages for it I prefer the second one, but I would like to see other opinions.
