Hi,
I'd like to discuss using empathy as the default IM client again :-) Last time, we didn't make the switch because it was not totally ready. But lots of work has happened in the meantime and empathy has some cool new features:
+ VoIP that's working + geolocalisation support (not yet in G:F, need to package a few things first, but will be ready soon) + support for adium themes + desktop sharing: you'll be able to share your desktop with your empathy contacts!
Limitations that were blocking this in the past were:
+ file transfer (implemented now) + a bit buggy (should work fine now) + (?)
I'm not aware of any real downside. Opinions?

Til some day Empathy had no working support for Gadu-Gadu, which is the first popular protocol used in Poland. Currently, 2.26.x feature basic functionality and a Polish guy is working on avatars support etc. The less-basic basic functionality. So Empathy could repeat Pidgin for Polish users in 11.2 if it gets better Gadu-Gadu support or in 11.3/12.0, but then I expect GTK 3.x / GNOME 3.0 revolution and no changes in GG support. -- Best regards, Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek http://jakubrusinek.pl/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
