[Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption

[Ronny Rabuzarus]

OK, soon gsoc will start again. Maybe it can used to find someone who
will implement OTR in telepathy. Does anybody has good connection to
telepathy/gnome/fdo developers to ask if they would provide a mentor for
such a project?

What really annoys me about the otr integration in telepathy is the lack of information you get. People (e.g. jprvita, McVittie) come and go. Someone never hear something again about the project and the status. There are some questions in my head. Something like, is the approach of jpvita usefull for furher devlopment. If it's useful, what needs to be done to finish it?
I think it would be useful to have a wiki page with such kind of informations. I can't believe that nobody is willing to code on this, so the question seems to be what keeps developers away from coding on this or vice versa what incentives must be given that someone is willing to work on otr implementation.

P.S. Don't get me wrong I don't want to blame anybody with this post. It
presents just a couple of questions which have risen in my head.
