 > So, to help put an end to this problem - and no offense, but Ignoring
 all the developers standards, I'm going to fork libpurple and pidgin
 myself to implement as much as I can. I'll try stick to the conventions
 the pidgin dev's use and their ideals, but I promise nothing.

 Ivan: Before you fork, understand that this ticket is not a record of the
 development that has happened on voice/video (vv) in pidgin. There was a
 Summer of Code project which laid the ground work for vv. Since then,
 Maiku (the SoC'er) has continued to improve the vv branch and has become a
 full pidgin developer. I suggest checking out the pidgin.vv branch, build
 it, familiarize yourself with the vv code, and get hacking! I'm assuming
 Maiku can be tracked down in IRC if you have specific questions, to
 coordinate your efforts or figure out how to get your patches merged back
 in to the vv branch.

 To all: As others and myself have indicated before, "me too's" on this
 ticket don't bring us any closer to vv. I understand and appreciate that a
 lot of users want to see this functionality added to pidgin. If you want
 the feature but can't contribute code, hold tight and hopefully it'll get
 there soon. If you can contribute, before you consider forking, check out
 pidgin.vv and try to help out. BUT, PLEASE DO NOT FILE BUGS AGAINST THAT
 BRANCH!
