That seems like confusing balkanisation to me. So if I'm having a
conversation in an IRC channel with someone, and we decide to take it
*off* the channel to private messages, it suddenly ends up in a
different app altogether?

Or would the differentiation be on the *protocol* it uses? Which doesn't

No. Please check the mockups [1] - private messages are handled in
Polari (in a similar fashion to other IRC clients, like XChat).

There's nothing radically new here - IRC and IM clients frequently

 Or be a better alternative to Empathy for rooms, leaving Empathy (or
 eventually, Contacts + Shell, I guess) for IM.

In the past, various people have talked about cutting the named
chatroom UI out of Empathy and replacing it with something based on the
xchat-gnome UI.

This seems broadly similar - it's new code rather than xchat-gnome, but
the principle of have a UI designed for a particular purpose seems
similar.

For completeness, I should point out that because IM protocols are
annoyingly varied, Telepathy has four types of Text channel, which are
sufficiently different at the protocol level that we distinguish between
them on D-Bus. I list them here in the hope that the developers of GNOME
Telepathy UIs can make an informed decision about their UIs' scope,
rather than getting a particular set of channels by mistake as a
result of implementation details :-)

- one-to-one messages[1]: PRIVMSG on IRC, IMs on XMPP, SMSs in
  telepathy-ring, etc. Currently handled by Shell and Empathy,
  could be handled by Chat in future

- nameless ad-hoc chatrooms[2]: what you get when you add a a contact
  to a one-to-one conversation, in protocols that let you do that, like
  MSNP and Skype). I don't think any current Telepathy CMs do this,
  but telepathy-butterfly used to do this for MSNP, and I think the
  proprietary Telepathy CM on the N900/N9 did this for Skype.
  Is Chat going to be the handler for these? I would personally give
  these the same UI as one-to-one channels, if I was implementing
  a UI (I'm not).

- ad-hoc chatrooms with a meaningless name (a UUID or something)[3]:
  this is what you get when you add a contact to a one-to-one
  conversation on Google Talk. It should be presented in UIs in the
  same way as a nameless ad-hoc chatroom, but is different at the
  protocol level (loggers can use the name to tie together
  conversations, for instance). Is Chat going to be the handler for
  these? Again, I would personally group them together with one-to-one
  channels.

- chatrooms with a human-meaningful name (e.g. #telepathy on IRC,
  j...@conference.jabber.org on XMPP)[4]. If I understand correctly,
  this is what Polari is meant for? I think these do make sense
  to have a less message-oriented and more room-oriented UI
  (a room/location/conference rather than chat metaphor).

If you want to match channels by protocol (e.g. an IRC-only UI), either
we'll have to introduce new handler matching API, or GNOME Shell will
have to learn to discriminate between multiple UIs that
telepathy-misison-control considers equally good. Either is completely
do-able, but we do need to understand the use-cases before we design.

Regards,
S

[1] Telepathy channel filter: {
...ChannelType = ...Text, TargetHandleType = CONTACT
}
[2] Telepathy channel filter: {
...ChannelType = ...Text, TargetHandleType = NONE
}
[3] Telepathy channel filter: {
...ChannelType = ...Text, TargetHandleType = ROOM,
...Room2.RoomName = 
}
[4] Telepathy channel filter: {
...ChannelType = ...Text, TargetHandleType = ROOM
}
(and because Mission Control has closest match first
semantics, filter [3] will take precedence for nameless
rooms)

The UI's integrated with GNOME 3 (and not awful) and it's maintained.
Which makes it (or rather, will make it) a better option than at least
X-Chat, XChat-GNOME, and hexchat.

The UI and features will also be such that we can provide good

I'm not so sure they're really different.

I have a passive presence on my corporate IM system, always indicating

There's a broad *spectrum* of communication, and even 'group chat' can

I worry about trying to draw clear lines between types of usage and

then fall through the cracks.

OK, so it isn't necessarily that easy to do one tool to solve all use
cases either — but at least if we take that approach there is no need
for the user to learn how we've drawn our arbitrary¹ distinctions
between use cases and which tool to use for which. And we'll *have* to

IRC:

 * Most people tend to read and not write.

IM

 The core applications are unbranded and have generic names. The idea
 is that these apps should be installed by default. The generic name is
 appropriate in this case because (a) the app is essentially part of
 the OS and (b) it tells new users what all the default apps do.
 
 I don't think the suggestion is that Polari will be a core app, or
 that distros should install it by default - hence it has a brand of
 its own. It is still a GNOME app though, in the sense that it is
 created by GNOME and follows the GNOME 3 design patterns.

Cool, thanks for clarifying.

Fair enough. If it's just another IRC client and isn't attempting to be

I was confused because people seemed to be suggesting that it would be
more. And partly, perhaps, because I really *want* to believe that

 I don't mean to be a buzz kill here but IRC clients seem to be dime a

The engine is Telepathy, the hard bit is the UI now.

Do you have something like a roadmap for what you hope to have in 3.12 ?

Autocompletion, logs, ... I'm sure people have bugged you with their
favourite features - would be great to know what you are planning to add,
what is considered out of scope, or what other people could contribute.
