Anibal was a little bit too enthusiastic.

Yes - work is ongoing to separate the Sipe core functionality from the Purple
code. We're still in the middle of it and don't know when it will be completed.

No - there is no native telepathy backend yet, just a build option and an empty
directory. Once the above is achieved it should be technically possible to
implement a native telepathy backend. If you want to connect to M$ OCS with a
telepathy-based client *today*, you'll need to use telepathy-haze.

Of course the same thing is true for a native kopete backend. As none of the
current Sipe developers knows anything about developing kopete protocol plugins
it would be nice if someone from the KDE/kopete community would step up and
start contributing code to the project.

To start this off I could add a --enable-kopete option to configure and a
kopete directory to the source tree. What kind of libraries/packages would
configure need to check for to be able to compile a kopete protocol plugin?
[e.g. for telepathy we check for telepathy-glib development headers]
