BitlBee has support for identi.ca, an open source social networking and micro-blogging service based on the OpenMicroBlogging specification. It uses the same protocol as twitter, but defaults to a base_url pointing at identi.ca, and with OAuth disabled.

To use your identi.ca account in BitlBee:

   1 11:45:03 <wilmer> account add identica <handle> [<password>]
   2 11:45:03 <root> Account successfully added
   3 11:45:06 <wilmer> account on
   4 11:45:06 <root> Trying to get all accounts connected...
   5 11:45:06 <root> identica - Logging in: Connecting

From version 3.0.5 and higher, OAuth for identi.ca will also be supported so connecting to identi.ca will be just like connecting to Twitter.

Without OAuth

To connect to a status.net instance without using OAuth:

   1 <@nick> account add identica nick
   2 <@root> Account successfully added with tag identica
   3 <@root> No need to enter a password for this account since it's using OAuth
   4 <@nick> account list
   5 <@root>  0 (identica): identica, nick
   6 <@root> End of account list
   7 <@nick> account 0 set oauth false
   8 <@root> oauth = `false'
   9 <@nick> account 0 set password topsecret123
  10 <@root> Setting changed successfully
  11 <@nick> account 0 set base_url 'https://example.com/api/'
  12 <@root> base_url = `https://example.com/api/'
  13 <@nick> account 0 on

This assumes you've installed statusnet in single user mode at https://example.com.
