Which language is to be used to design a plugin for pidgin

[mahendra panpalia]

Adding to discussion.

Who will provide us Libpurple (pidgin) library, is this open
source?....where can we find it's code?

for making a pidgin plug-in for application, by whom do we need to take a
permission?

On website there is no contact details etc?
http://www.pidgin.com/

Any one please let me know
.
Cheers!!
Mahendra
