Comment (by laclaro):

 Hi,

 is someone already working on this feature? I think OMEMO has to
 implemented as soon as possible in all majow XMPP clients. And I think
 pidgin is one of the most important XMPP-clients out there now.

 Why? Because the possibility to have multiple ressources/clients on
 multiple platforms (laptop, phone, car, desktop, ...) is one major
 strength of XMPP. OMEMO makes it easily possible to encrypt traffic to all
 these resources (unlike OTR). Modern mobile chat apps nowadays also tend
 to use end-to-end-encryption, but usually they are designed to work with
 one platform only. If XMPP wants to compete with them, we have to play the
 multi-platform-card even more.

 Then one could tell: We encrypt as good as you are, but additionally we
 are a decentralized-multi-platform-open-source-protocol. What about you?
 Without modern encryption, we cannot play that card that well.

 Best wishes
 Henning
