Hi,

How would you compare your plugin to the current one?
The current msn is not really actively maintained anymore

I would be happy to see a  better msn plugin in Kopete.
If you judge it is better, it can be included in Kopete.

You can already submit it in the KDE svn,  maybe in kdereview if you think 
it's ready,  so you benefit from the KDE infrastructure.

It's up to you to choose if you want to develop it as a part of Kopete.  I 
think it would benefit the Kopete users.

Note: you could maybe mail the kmess developer, i think they may be interested 
by using a shared library for their protocol implementation
