As one of the pidgin developers I would very much be interested in people
working on a libpurple lua binding, and would be more than happy to help
with the effort (time permitting) and offer help and comments.

On a separate pidgin note, I started working on a lua plugin loader for
gaim back before the name change and got it to the point where it was
starting to be useful before I needed to put it down. Since then the
rename happened and I've been meaning to re-examine the way I was handling
the plugin (as it had required a lot of manual header reading/function
copying that I would really like to avoid in the future). This project has
unfortunately not ever been important enough to warrant any effort on my
part though.
