[OTR-users] OTR support for bitlbee

[ChazeFroy]

A couple of months ago, "Pesco" published support for OTR using the
bitlbee client.  This is quite significant as it is the first
multi-protocol command-line client to support OTR.  This also allows
users to simply "screen" their IM on a shell somewhere without needing
all of the GUI stuff required by previous clients that supported OTR
(or the GUI-only OTR proxy).  Furthermore, this could be a good
starting point for those wishing to implement OTR support for other
CLI clients, such as Finch.

Here is the announcement: http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/115
To obtain the code, you must have "bazaar" installed
(www.bazaar-ng.org).  It also requires libotr 3.1.
To download it, simply run: bzr checkout http://khjk.org/~pesco/bitlbee-otr/

I have not seen an ETA on when OTR support will be included in the
next release of bitlbee, but hopefully it will be soon.  Can the OTR
admins link this news to their website so others will know about it?
