Just a quick note of clarification, there is a collision
in the name Ian G.  4 letters does not a message digest
make.

Gaim-otr as I understand it is authored by Nikita Borisov
and Ian Goldberg <otr at cypherpunks.ca>.  It can be acquired
here:

and here are some other links:

Just to confuse the issue I also am working on a private
instant messaging service which is markedly different, in
that I am taking a payment system and reworking it into an
IM system:

But I haven't got around to a download yet.  And it's not
AIM compatible, as it works through its host payment system.
