Their web version doesn’t always get noticed when a message comes in and their desktop version is a pretty large memory hog.

Salesforce does have a Java api to allow clients to be written which could tap into their feeds. I believe it was to allow one to create mobile and other apps that could talk "chatter". I haven't read the specs on adding a third party plugin to add support for another protocol, so I'm not sure how or if the chatter api would/could be used to create a plugin. As a developer myself though, I would think that if all else failed, one could write a few wrapper classes that would act as a bridge/proxy between pidgin and the chatter restful services which are exposed in the chatter api. No? They also now have api's in Ruby/Rails, Javascript, JQuery, iOS.. http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/ https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Chatter_API ..and code samples.. https://github.com/forcedotcom/JavaChatterRESTApi I also would think that the api living under a BSD 2 clause license should be acceptable with the pidgin folks since it's fully open and re-distributable. So IF one was developed they shouldn't feel the desire to toss the plugin over licensing issues. Just a thought..and I'm surprised that I'm not seeing that anyone has tried something like that yet? --Pat _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
