So why not start to propose libempathy as a blessed dependency and start the actual development of these features? I'd rather see libempathy as a dependency of some features before asking it to be included. This is not a rant against libempathy, but against putting more load on the maintainers of current modules, like »libempathy is there, so evolution guys, you have 6 months for integration«. The seahorse team has done a really great job in getting these tasks up. So please lets go back to business and propose implemented features and not blue-sky ideas (I also think that this was part of the reason why the tracker application failed some cycles ago).
