## Running
Enable *OMEMO Multi-End Message and Object Encryption* in the Plugin-Manager.

If your contact supports OMEMO you should see a new orange fish icon in the chat window.

Encryption will be enabled by default for contacts that support OMEMO.
If you open the chat window, the Plugin will tell you with a green status message if its *enabled* or *disabled*.
If you see no status message, your contact doesnt support OMEMO.
(**Beware**, every status message is green. A green message does not mean encryption is active. Read the message !)
You can also check if encryption is enabled/disabled, when you click on the OMEMO icon.

When you send your first message the Plugin will query your contacts encryption keys and you will
see them in a readable fingerprint format in the fingerprint window which pops up.
you have to trust at least **one** fingerprint to send messages.
you can receive messages from fingerprints where you didnt made a trust decision, but you cant
receive Messages from *not trusted* fingerprints


## Debugging
To see OMEMO related debug output start Gajim with the parameter `-l
gajim.plugin_system.omemo=DEBUG`.

## Hacking
This repository contains the current development version. If you want to
contribute clone the git repository into your Gajim's plugin directory. 
```shell
mkdir ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins -p
cd ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins
git clone https://github.com/omemo/gajim-omemo
