Making an API to create plugins for the chat window. These should be able to handle the following usecases:

  • Translator plugin - when messages are sent or received, it will translate them before they are displayed (or actually sent)
  • Image Embed plugin - when a URL of an image is received, it will display the image under the text
  • Grammar correction - a plugin that replaces "wont" with "won't" on messages to be sent
  • Youtube embed - embeds a youtube video in a chat


The stakeholders (components) are as follows:

  • UI - telepathy-kde-text-ui and chat-widget etc.
  • Plugin Manager
  • Plugin
  • Core (Telepathy)
