I'm a final year student at NIIT University, India. I started working with Pidgin as part of Google Summer of Code 2015. The goal of my project is to implement Google+ Hangouts Protocol for libpuple3.
A major part of the project was to reverse engineer the protocol. Hangups played a key role in this step and was used as a reference in the initial design of the protocol, though the design was iterated many times over after thorough testing to make it suitable for libpurple.
