3 | 3 | [http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/ Telepathy] is a communications framework built around DBus. Connections to IM servers, text conversations, and voice calls (for instance) can be implemented with a number of separate processes, interacting via the session bus. This approach allows each component to do one thing well, rather than requiring a single monolithic application to provide every piece of functionality. It also allows any new UI to reuse the existing connection managers rather than having to reimplement every protocol itself. |

5 | | [wiki:resiak]'s [wiki:SummerOfCode2007 Summer of Code 2007] project, mentored by [http://www.robot101.net/ Robert McQueen], was to write: |
| 5 | == Telepathy protocol plug-in == |
6 | 6 | |
7 | | * a libpurple-based Telepathy connection manager, to provide Telepathy clients with access to the full range of protocols supported by libpurple. |
8 | | * a Telepathy protocol plug-in for libpurple, to give Pidgin and Finch access to Telepathy implementations of protocols in addition to the implementations in libpurple. |
| 7 | [wiki:sttwister Felix Kerekes] is currently working on a [wiki:GSoC2009/TelepathyPrpl libpurple protocol plug-in for Telepathy] for [wiki:SummerOfCode2009 Summer of Code 2009]. |
9 | 8 | |
10 | | It turned out that there was not time to do both, so only the connection manager, ''telepathy-haze'', exists. |
| 9 | == libpurple-based connection manager == |
11 | 10 | |
12 | | The protocol plug-in is currently being implemented as part of [wiki:SummerOfCode2009 Summer of Code 2009]. You can find more information on the [wiki:GSoC2009/TelepathyPrpl TelepathyPrpl] page. |

16 | | telepathy-haze releases are kept on [http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-haze/ freedesktop.org] and in a distro repository near you. Its git repository can be browsed at [http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=telepathy-haze.git]. |

18 | | Haze bugs live over on [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=Telepathy&component=telepathy-haze freedesktop.org's bugzilla]. |

20 | | (The `im.pidgin.soc.2007.telepathy` branch of pidgin.im's monotone repository contains nothing useful.) |
| 11 | [wiki:resiak Will Thompson] started [wiki:TelepathyHaze telepathy-haze] — a Telepathy connection manager based on libpurple — for [wiki:SummerOfCode2007 Summer of Code 2007], mentored by [http://www.robot101.net/ Robert McQueen]. (His project proposal also originally included writing a Telepathy prpl, but there wasn't time.) |
