 # awesome-pidgin-plugins
+
 A list of Pidgin plugins to support modern networks and features
+
+## Protocols and protocols extensions
+
+### XMPP
+
+#### [XEP-313](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html) Message Archive Management.
+
+The XMPP support in Pidgin is extremely dated. There is a patched Pidgin source tree maintained at https://github.com/CkNoSFeRaTU/pidgin - you'll need to compile this for XEP-313 support. There is no plugin version.
+
+#### [XEP-0280](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0280.html) Message Carbons
+
+Use https://github.com/gkdr/carbons
+
+#### [XEP-0316](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0316.html) MUC Eventing Protocol
+
+Use https://github.com/danielkraic/Pidgin-XEP-0136-plugin
+
+#### [XEP-0363](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html) HTTP File Upload
+
+Use https://github.com/Junker/purple-xmpp-http-upload
+
+#### [XEP-0384](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html) OMEMO Encryption
+
+OMEMO is a multi-device 2e2 encryption protocol.
+Use https://github.com/gkdr/lurch
+
+#### [XEP-0184](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0184.html) Message Delivery Receipts
+
+Use https://github.com/noonien-d/pidgin-xmpp-receipts
+
+### WhatsApp
+
+https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp is a new plugin that, unlike other Pidgin WhatsApp plugins, connects to the web interface of WhatsApp, so the possibility if immediately getting block is reduced.
+
+### Telegram
+
+ https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple 
+
+### Matrix
+
+https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix/
+
+Basic features only.
+
+### Skype (web)
+
+https://github.com/EionRobb/Skype4pidgin
+
+Via the web interface. Might break soon due to the coming redesign (again....) of skype.
+
+### Discord
+
+https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord
+
+### Pushbullet
+
+ https://github.com/EionRobb/pidgin-pushbullet
+
+### Mattermost
+
+ https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-mattermost
+
+### Instagram
+
+ https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-instagram
+
+Makes an actual login on login - notification noise might hapen -, and it is a bit messy on contact list terms, but seems to be working.
+
+### Facebook
+
+https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/
+
+You'll need to compile it for normal Facebook, no special tricks. 
+
+##### Facebook for Work (aka Workplace)
+
+1. Download, compile and install:
+
+        git clone https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook.git
+        git checkout wip-work-chat
+        ./autogen.sh # you'll probably need to install additional packages...  
+        sudo make install
+
+2. Restart pidgin
+3. Accounts → Manage Accounts → Add
+    * Protocol: Facebook
+    * Username: your email address
+    * Password: wharrgarbl (it doesn't matter)
+    * Remember password: yes
+    * Advanced → Login as a Workplace account: yes
+    * Save, Ok
+
+In case you get [SSL/TLS errors on connect](https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/408#issuecomment-374275285):
+
+- Try Tools → Plugins → NSS Preferences → Maximum Version → TLS 1.2
+- restart Pidgin
+
+If that doesn't work, and you're on Linux, you can try recompile Pidgin without GnuTLS. If you do so, I suggest using https://github.com/CkNoSFeRaTU/pidgin - this is a Pidgin patched with XEP-0313, should that be ever needed - it's useful.
+
+```
+./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-perl --disable-nm --with-dynamic-prpls=jabber,irc --enable-gnutls=no
+```
