It is a plugin intended to replace the skype user interface. You can play with your skype contacts from within your Piding, Audium etc. Every thing which can be done with Skype is also possible with this plugin. It is a free software and you are free to modify its source code. More interesting is that it is available for Windows as well as Linux. If you want to install it, there is a tutorial available at Ubuntu Geek.
