Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #308281, revision 9 Title: Empathy as default IM client openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation 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. Discussion: #1: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) (2010-01-13 20:15:19) 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. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308281
