Lack of Plugin API?
I was looking at this page: http://developer.ceruleanstudios.com/index.php/API_Wrappers Which seems that most of the projects are dead, or not working. The link to the main file (plugin.h) also reports that it's a dead link. Where is a proper download for a C, C++, C#, Java, or Python API file? Or is there no longer a way to make third party plugins?

To be honest, we have not had a lot of outside interest in the API recently to keep it updated as well as we should have. What are you interested in doing in particular? It has been on my list for a while to get things up to date, so if we get enough people interested again, i can definitely try to give it a little more love.

That'd be cool to get it updated again. There isn't anything I was looking to do in particular honestly, I just wanted to try to code a few plugins for myself, or possibly for public usage if they're good enough.

I am interested in building a plugin that takes RSS feeds and allows you to attach feeds to the contacts list as a contact (offline if all items are read, and online if it finds new unread items). I want to do this for the purpose of adding news/blogs to contacts so we can tell when a friend updates their blog (perhaps) through a metacontact object. I am sure there will have to be many design considerations for me to discover, but I mostly want to be able to tie all of a person's IM accounts and content feeds into a single metacontact object... Including blogs, intagrams, youtubes, tumblrs, wordpress, twitter, etc...

Troy,
Sounds like a fun project. Should be doable based on the api.

I have had the idea for quite some time, but having a three-year-old tends to put a delay on new coding projects. I honestly would like to make something so capable and sleek that it be considered for bundling with the product itself. Dare to dream.

I'm also extremely interested in programming a plugin. I'd be great if I'd be able to use C#.

I was wondering if this is something that is making progress. As Google Reader is being sunsetted this summer, I was not very excited with the other options out there and would rather integrate RSS into the Trillian app.

I'm also interested - I came in here looking for a Trillian 5 programming API to code a few basic games (Chess, checkers) as well as maybe try to code my own very basic protocol, as a learning experiment.
