New description:

 Our goal for June 15 was to have Off-the-Record (OTR) conversations
 working in Instantbird, but with a minimalistic user interface (UI) that
 does not support configuring keys yet.  Extending the UI will be done
 later in this project.  We accomplished this goal by May 22, despite
 #11532 not being done yet.  [https://github.com/arlolra/ctypes-otr#trying-
 it-out Instructions] for compiling an Instantbird version with basic OTR
 support are available.  That concludes this task. Arlo did the coding,
 Karsten helped with the testing.
