For a short while I slowed down some of the work on MeeGoExperts and I think about that time some work started on the WhatsApp port for MeeGo Harmattan / Maemo. HOW / WHAT / WHEN ???? I only found out last night thanks to some some tweeters 🙂 (@NokiaN9stuff @Horizon_fall @RobertHall and @kegnatz).
The work is being carried out on this thread at Talk Maemo so please feel free to logon and contribute.
Thought I’d start a new thread in the dev section for people to post stuff specifically related to porting whatsapp, hopefully I can and other devs can find things much easier if it’s in a single dev only thread.
So to start of with Whatsapp uses XMPP according to wikipedia:

So this google code will probably help with that;
http://code.google.com/p/qxmpp/
Whats different about whats app is that it allows >1 person to be involved in a conversation, not sure whether XMPP supports this (this shows im not an XMPP expert) ……
Beta is expected next week !!! 🙂 If you hear anything before me then please feel free to grab me on Twitter @MeeGoExperts
