Why not just add skype and gamespy arcade IM networks?
The Paypal payment link and blunderbuss addressing to functional addresses makes me wonder if this is genuine. The presence of sales@ indicates a total failure to understand the nature of Pidgin. However, as a serious reply:
Pidgin contains code for protocols not services. Facebook and Google are special purpose aliases to the underlying XMPP protocol, because of their extreme popularity and lack of user understanding of the nature of the underlying protocol. Many other protocols are unique to one service.
If gamespy uses a standard protocol, in particular XMPP, then nothing needs to be done to Pidgin. Either you or gamespy need to publish the configuration parameters.
If they use a proprietary protocol, you will need to provide a pointer to where technical details of the protocol can be found in the public domain (from a confidentiality point of view). You will then need to convince an existing or new developer, that it is a good use of their skills and time to write the code to work with that protocol. As a minor player, if they are not using XMPP, they probably don't want third party clients, like Pidgin, to be used.
If you don't know what the protocol is, you can't really expect existing developers to know.
Please note that support@ is a public, peer support, mailing list. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
