You got me completely wrong! I said libempathy-gtk contains lots of NON-Trivial code from Gossip. What I said is libempathy (the non-gui part) contains very few code from Gossip, what remains from Gossip in libempathy is trivial things. > Mikael, Richard and I (not to forget the countless others supplying > patches) have spent a lot of time writing these widgets and the > supporting library (libgossip).

I didn't made "few improvements", I really worked hard and improved lots of things everywhere in the code. I didn't just implemented another backend, I refactored the whole code. Take for example that Empathy contains the half of code lines than Gossip, and no, it's not only because I'm using external libs like MissionControl, I removed all code duplication there is in Gossip.
