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?
Hello, I am personally against switching to Empathy at this point as I think it needs more work and testing. Pidgin is more mature, has more features, better protocol support out of the box and lots of plugins (I use at least 8 plugins atm). As someone already mentioned VoIP support is sortof unimportant for many of us, because our mums and friends use Skype and so do we.
