Skype, at minimum accessing IM messages and contacts, is a fundamental IM use 
for many users. Without it any IM services are of little use to them. Due to 
family and friends overseas, this includes me alas.

Adding Skype as a partly-supported service would massively widen Telepathy's 
audience. It's preferable to have Skype and all services running through a 
common interface, for example to keep all history logs in one place, and 
communicate with contacts (using meta-contacts) in a protocol-neutral manner. 
Most users are most interested in communicating than the protocol they are 
using to type a text message. Most don't wish to have to use two or more 
interfaces, it's hard enough tracking via various devices.

At present, Skype is working with Kopete and Pidgin, albeit with Skype running 
simultaeously in the background, that's hugely better than not having it at 
all imho.

I've tried unsuccessfully to add a Skype account in Telepathy-KDE, but to no 
avail. I've added SkypePidgin, and the various dependencies, including 
libpurple.


I note that last year, Florian Reinhard committed bigbrownchunkx-skype-dbus to 
the haze plugin. http://commit-digest.org/issues/2011-03-06/

Please could someone who  knows comment as to progress, if any, else what is 
needed to progress the issue.

Many thanks.
