Homepage: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy svn/git/bzr/...: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/empathy/ Proposal on d-d-l: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2007-September/msg00301.html
Short description: ================== Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets, and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and Nokia's Mission Control, and reuses Gossip's UI. The main goal is to permit desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be embeded into any GNOME application. Requires new external dependencies: =================================== libtelepathy, telepathy-glib, libmissioncontrol (libtelepathy will go away at some point in the future) Summary so far: =============== + a few -1 from people thinking it's useless duplication of pidgin/ekiga/etc. work or not wanting to use telepathy + some +1 from people thinking it's going the right way + questions about stability + questions about feature set that might not be complete yet + API documentation needed to be written (I don't know the current status) + no API stability guarantee yet + current license of the libraries is GPL [context: if the libraries are proposed for the platform later, they will need to be LGPL] Xavier can probably send an update about the feature set, the API doc status, and the license.
