Jabber transport for Skype?

I wasn't sure where to ask this question but I thought jabber is quite popular among Linux users, so maybe you can answer my question.

Does anyone know if there is a jabber transport for Skype? We use Jabber at our university, but a lot of our students use Skype, so it would be nice if I could chat with them without having to start the Skype client all the time.

Thanks for your reply, I was afraid something like that was the issue. Oh well, I guess we can only hope that Skype will support jabber-based servers one day. But I think I'll try out the Kopete plugin, even though I prefer Psi as my chat client.
