Hi,
thanks for your interest in Telepathy. Creating a connection manager
is effectively how a new protocol support is added in Telepathy.
Note that it would only works for feature such as IM and File Transfer
which are already part of the telepathy part, however it seems like
retroshare support other feature like : publishing a list of file,
querying it, forums, etc... If you want to implement theses features
too you would need to provide your own dbus interface definition, see
if the telepathy dev are interested in having them implemented in the
spec and then code client support but it seems quite of a big task for
a SoC.
Hope this helps,
regards,
Olivier
