Hi Jordan,

 thanks for looking into this.  To answer your questions: I'm using this
package to build a stable OTR plugin for gajim. I think it should be
generic enough to be used in other applications - if not, that's a bug.
The code survived some manual testing against libotr code, as well as
1-2 weeks in "live action" (gajim plugin is working, release is on it's
way in the next few weeks) - I found no bugs but I have to admit I don't
have too many OTR contacts anymore. If you meant stability of the code
base - I didn't put out an official release, because I wanted to be open
for most kind of feedback. If noone points out major design flaws it
will stay that way. Number of testers that I know of is about 2 - not
counting you. :-)

OTR in telepathy would be a really cool thing IMHO. Even more cool if it
could be done independently for butterfly/gabble/... I've no idea about
that framework though.
