Hi everybody, This is my first message to the list so I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm Nicolás Echániz, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been programing python for 4 or 5 years now and one of my projects is this instant messenger (www.EcMess.com), which is a web based messenger. It's based on Sam Rushing's Medusa framework, runs on a Linux server and uses MySQL for data storage. It works really nice. The fact is that I'd like to add ICQ and MSN support (it's a much requested feature) and I've been thinking that the best way might be to rewrite my server using Twisted as a replacement framework for Medusa. Now, I've been looking at the notes on 1.1.1 release and found that MSNP 8 is the supported protocol at this time, but as far as I know, clients using MSNP 8 can't communicate with the MSN network since protocol 9 was released. So, my question is: Are there any plans to support MSNP 9 in the near future? I know that Gaim has updated it's protocol support to v.9. Do you mantain any relation with their development team? Or do you at twisted-matrix hack the protocol on your own without reusing other project's experience? If I may be of any help in this matter, please let me know. I'm not a C programmer, but then I don't know if your MSNP implementation is written in C and wrapped or written in pure Python. If the latter is true, then I might be able to help. I thank you all in advance, Nicolás Echániz www.EcMess.com
