A plugin for the KDE Instant Messenger, Kopete, SILC Plugin offers a protocol allowing secure communication over the Internet.
The SILC Plugin for Kopete is a protocol plugin designed specifically for the KDE Instant Messenger. It enables users to join the SILC Network using Kopete, which wasn't previously possible. By adding SILC support to Kopete, this plugin allows users to enjoy everything that the SILC Network has to offer.
The SILC Plugin for Kopete is based on libsilc, a library that's part of the SILC Toolkit. This library was initially written by Pekka Riikonen and is still being maintained by him. With that said, the plugin itself boasts several key features that make it stand out from other plugins:
- Channels can easily be joined or added to the user's contact list.
- One-to-one chats can be initiated by clicking members participating in group chats.
- Password-protected channels are supported.
- User invitations are seamless with the plugin's drag-and-drop functionality.
- Signature verification and public key handling are fully supported.
- File transfers to other buddies are possible, with graphical progress information, and automatic detection of NAT'ed workstations.
- Guided channel configuration is partially available, mainly for topic setting and some boolean options.
- MIME support is fully implemented, making it possible to send files to channels.
- Attributes can distribute the user's mood, location on earth, or the medium they want to be contacted through.
Of course, to use this plugin, you'll need to have Kopete installed. Fortunately, that's the only requirement. The latest release of the SILC Plugin for Kopete has been ported to SILC Toolkit 1.1, so users can expect even better performance and features. Overall, the SILC Plugin for Kopete is a must-have for anyone looking to join the SILC Network using Kopete.
