Once we have a solid base library, it can be included as a plugin everywhere. We've had already requests for a Weechat plugin [1], and Pidgin / Matrix are good candidates too. [1]: https://github.com/fossteams/teams-cli/issues/2

That's why we're building FossTeams [1], an open source client for Microsoft Teams (: The idea is to have a backend [2], powered by a library [3] that does the heavy lifting and a / multiple frontends to be used with that (e.g: CLI[4], Web frontend[5], Flutter app[6]). We're looking for contributors! If you hate Teams and want to improve an Open Source version, PRs are welcome (: [1]: https://github.com/fossteams [2]: https://github.com/fossteams/fossteams-backend [3]: https://github.com/fossteams/teams-api [4]: https://github.com/fossteams/teams-cli [5]: https://github.com/fossteams/fossteams-frontend [6]: https://github.com/fossteams/fossteams_gui
