[New: openFATE 320279] Install the TOX.im plugin in the Instant Messaging programms
Feature added by: Philipp Bielefeldt (pbiel) Feature #320279, revision 1 Title: Install the TOX.im plugin in the Instant Messaging programms Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Philipp Bielefeldt (pbiel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: TOX is a relatively young, security-focussed instant messenger [see https://tox.chat/]. Although they offer a nice standalone-app, including it into the default chat programms (i.e. Empathy on Gnome DE) would help increase the user base and would also offer openSUSE users an easy way to use (or at least try out) TOX. There is a libpurple plugin [http://tox.dhs.org/] that waorks at least with Pidgin (my short gambling around with it on Empathy was not successful, though). I think it might be a small step for openSUSE to get it waork and ship it by default (we even offer GaduGadu & Myspace!), but a huge Leap (pun intended) for its users! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Installing Skype works fine, but a lot of people are unhappy with (a) it being a spoofing, data-hungry industry giant and (b) being completely closed-source, Microsoft-dominated and increasingly Linux-unfriendly. TOX solves all these problems. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/320279
