Use a service that has at least one of:

- a published (and accurate) protocol specification;
- a protocol that is not encrypted, so reverse engineering is possible;
- an API with licensing conditions that permit its use with software 
under the GPL licence.

Skype has none of these attributes, and will not be officially supported 
by Pidgin until this changes.
