 Here is an outline of how I think to manage this project.

 == For the remote version ==
 Identify then adapt each part of libpurple which aren't remote-friendly, such as audio and video streams or file transfers. For instance in the latter case, files must be transfered to/from the daemon while it sends/receives them.
+
+== Communication ==
+DBus will be used to make the daemon<->UI client communication. I needed something that support bidirectionnal calls and over multiple peers. For remote communications there is a TCP layer implemented. However there are some drawbacks in this TCP layer: the lack of authentication and encryption. I plan to overcome those using a custom tunnel as described in [http://fr.dotsec.net/~gillux/detachable_sessions2.svg this drawing].
