I’m again mentoring for Google Summer of Code 2014, this year my student is Saurabh Anand (sawrubh), who has been working on a few related things:

• Adding a file transfer mechanism for XMPP
• Hooking up libpurple’s file transfer code to Instantbird
• Integrating FileLink as a fallback to in-protocol file transfers

Sorry for the way overdue post (as it's already past mid-term for GSoC)!
