I think there's been a misunderstanding here (possibly on my part).
While libpurple's protocol support is now available via our chat app
THANKS TO TELEPATHY-HAZE, the pidgin-otr package on Maemo extras is
strictly a Pidgin user interface plugin, rather than a protocol plugin.
Thus, a second user interface would have to be written for OTR to work
with an application other than Pidgin.
