Hello,

My name is Tarek, I'm author of Yowsup, and WhatsApp clients on N9 and BB10
(Wazapp and OpenWhatsapp). It's great to see you guys already working on a
client for Ubuntu phone, which happens to be also based on Yowsup. I don't
know if you are aiming for a standalone UI, or only a telepathy plugin.
Although a telepathy plugin would integrate nicely with the system, I think
it would however force dropping some main features in WhatsApp, for
instance, display of receipts for sent and delivered messages. And that's
why I went for a standalone UI on meego/harmattan even though it ships with
telepathy. Perhaps a combination of both, a plugin, and a UI could work
together? Anyway, I'm writing to you, in case you need any help using the
library or writing a UI. If you're going for a complete UI, Wazapp is
already in QML, and I can port it to use Ubuntu Components. So please let
me know.

Best Regards,
Tarek
