multimedia support for pidgin

[srujan kumar]

 Hi all,
         I was wondering why there is no multimedia support for pidgin till
now, when kopete had these features...Can the kopete's code be anyway
useful in developing multimedia support for pidgin (voice chat and video
chat)...if so, how can it be done...what all i need to know to do that..if
possible, i 'll take this as my project work.

Looking forward to see some suggestions from you...

              Thank you,

regards,
srujan.
