You could ask Eion about making his SkypeWeb Pidgin plugin for Adium, or look into it yourself. Here's the plugin I'm talking about by the way: https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypewe...

Looks like it's just a libpurple plugin, and should work in Adium as well. He's even got a .dylib build in the Makefile, but I can't get it to build after tinkering with it for a few minutes. Oh well.

> Q: Does this plugin require Skype to be running? A: Yes.

The way the GitHub page is set up is weird. Basically two different plugins are hosted on one repo. The root tree you linked to has the original client required plugin. Go under "Skypeweb" folder and you'll see it's an entirely different plugin that you can compile and don't need a client (also has its own README).

The FAQ is wrong, likely entirely outdated by now.
