[Bug 102005] gaim should support skype

[DrOdal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

This is NOT a bug, it's more a whish.

For me gaim is great because it supports so many different protocols.
But I'm wondering myself if it's not just easy to add skype support for
gaim, so that at least writing messages would be possible (kinda of a
beta support).

Thanks so far.

We have no one with enough time, much less interest, to spend attempting
to reverse engineer Skype.  It is not legal for us to use their
development kit for a GPLed program.  The combination means that there
will be no support for Skype untill some one not currently involved with
gaim steps up to create it.
