Skype Plugin for Pidgin

This is a Skype Plugin for Pidgin/libpurple/Adium. It lets you view and chat with all your Skype buddies from within Pidgin/Adium. You still need Skype to be running to be able to use it, but it lets you keep a consistent user interface and use all the other nifty Pidgin/Adium plugins with it, like spell-checking or OTR encryption.

I have some troubles with it, but for my needs it's perfect. There are still some contacts left so I didn't wont to delete Skype. With this I just can text them, but no direct calls. Skype still have to run in the background, but who cares!

Download the latest versions of the plugin at http://eion.robbmob.com/

For installation is the same like the Facebook plugin:

To install, run the deb package or copy libskype.so to the plugins directory, normally /usr/lib/purple-2/ or ~/.purple/plugins

Thanks to the inventor!
