Comment 108 for bug 296867

Actually, it would be impossible to have made the cut for 11.04 just
because the day I started the project I would have only had two weeks
to get something pushed through and then approved for the code freeze
date. However I am shooting for 11.10 and I now have two more people
that will be helping me with it. The major push for the project will
begin in mid-May and hopefully our code will be accepted before 11.10.
But initially their may only be support for Google and MSN, possibly
Yahoo. The rest will follow those and Google and MSN should be
completed about the same time. The reason for MSN being supported so
early is that the connection manager for it was programmed in Python,
which is the language I have more experince in.
