Facebook Chat for Pidgin

This is a Facebook chat plugin for Pidgin and libpurple messengers. It connects to the new Facebook Chat IM service without the need for an API key. It was created by Eion Robb in May 2008 and has had major code additions by Casey Ho and Mark Doliner who joined the project at the end of 2008.

This plugin is in no way associated with Google nor the Summer of Code, other than being hosted on the Google Code website; it was written purely during the spare time of the above-mentioned developers.

Currently the plugin can log into the Facebook servers, grab the buddy list, send/receive messages, add/remove friends, receive notifications, show your inbox count, organises friend lists/groups, search for Facebook friends and set your Facebook status.
