Will this eventually be merged? #22

Sorry if you don't want discussions/questions placed here, some projects are fine with it others hate the idea; I have no idea where your's falls.

But I hope this does get merged back into the Instant Bird master branch when it's finished. I'd love to ditch Pidgin, it's just the lack of an OTR plugin that prevents me.

Yes, the plan is to eventually add OTR support directly to Instantbird core. There's a bug on file: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954310

Hopefully soon.

That's good. Is this based on the source code for the Pidgin plugin or does this do its own thing? What does it use for encryption? Can someone on Pidgin using the OTR plugin communicate with an IB user using this plugin?

I really hope that the answer for the last answer is a yes.

It uses libotr, but Pidgin plugins are not compatible with Instantbird.

What does it use for encryption?

I'm afraid I don't really understand this question. You'll need to be more specific.

Can someone on Pidgin using the OTR plugin communicate with an IB user using this plugin?

Yes, of course. It uses the OTR protocol from libotr.
