Great

This is the the git repository of papyon :
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=papyon.git;a=summary
But I'd suggest you use this branch instead :
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/kakaroto/papyon.git;a=summary
You will also need my telepathy-butterfly branch that uses it :
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/kakaroto/telepathy-butterfly.git;a=summary

We had a name change, then added support for webcam, and we're now
working on adding support for audio calls (telepathy-butterfly isn't
done implementing that yet!)

You should know though that aMSN2 is also using papyon as its protocol
library and the amsn team will be the main maintainer of the library and
they have already contributed quite a few patches to papyon.. Knowing
how aMSN has the most complete feature set and compatibility with the
official client, you can be sure that papyon will definitely grow to
replicate all the features that the current aMSN (SVN) has!

Well, filing bugs on whatever you find missing is a good way to start
synchronizing this feature set...

ok, the normal emoticons, no, no support yet, but embeding images in a
text message is planned.

no, these should work, that 'bug' comes from pidgin's code which was
doing unnecessary checks, but afaik, papyon doesn't, so there is no need
to patch it, it should keep working as it did before...
