Description

The goals of Kopete are to provide users with a standard and easy to use interface between all of their instant messaging systems, but at the same time also providing developers with the ease of writing plugins to support a new protocol.

All protocols are plugins and allow modular installation, configuration, and usage without the main application knowing anything about the plugin being loaded.
