[openFATE 308281] Empathy as default IM client
- From: fate_noreply@xxxxxxx

Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz)
Feature #308281, revision 12
Title: Empathy as default IM client
openSUSE-11.3: Done
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Udaya Kumar (ukumars)
Description:
Empathy has good support for voice chat, which happens to be missing in
Linux for long time. Have tried it on ubuntu and have liked it. I
like it to be part of openSUSE release as default IM client. I don't
like to switch to another Linux flavor, as openSUSE is more comfortable
to use and simpler to manage.

Empathy is blseed by GNOME and it's moving really fast in terms of
features and bug fixes. It contains almost all features presented in
pidgin. So i think this should be done.
#2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-03-02 14:07:56)
Something for the GNOME team to discuss and decide. Vincent, will you
bring this up?
#3: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-04-07 23:15:20)
I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594593 to make this
happen.
#4: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-04-10 12:01:51)
How far does the removal of pidgin go? I don't mind it being gone from
the GNOME stack, but I certainly do mind if it's gone from the base
repo.
#5: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-04-10 12:44:06) (reply to #4)
It's just a change in the default install. Pidgin will still be
available, obviously.
#6: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-06-03 16:05:38)
The change in the patterns was done.
#7: Markus K (kamikazow) (2010-06-04 04:26:37) (reply to #6)
This is an unpopular move. The current score is -2. Why was it done
anyway?
+ #8: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-06-04 10:57:03) (reply to #7)
+ Because we think it's the right thing: it has a better UI, and it has
+ some nice features like video chat. Also, pidgin is still there and
+ people can use it.
+
+ And I wouldn't call -2 unpopular; -300 might be unpopular (and even in
+ such a case, I think it could not be an indicator of the true feeling
+ of people since it's possible only people who don't like it would
+ vote).
