Hello Severino! :)
I am glad you mentioned XMPP, and in fact I also see it and https://kdetalk.net/ as an alternative. I am participating in a project that aims to develop a cross-platform XMPP client, Kaidan: https://github.com/kaidanim/kaidan It uses Kirigami as a UI toolkit and libgloox for the backend. It is still very basic, but we already have some users, so there clearly is interest. Best regards, Ilya. ---- On Вс, 18 фев 2018 23:56:18 +0300 Severino Ferrer de la Peñita <[email protected]> wrote ---- Hello everyone. When I was at FOSDEM this year, I was told about KDE moving away from IRC and looking for something else. I'm not involved in KDE as an active contributor or developer, but I'm a happy KDE software user, so this felt really close to me. After trying to follow the discussions on the mailing list, I was hugely surprised that XMPP was not being mentioned. That encouraged me to send this email. I don't know if someone else already asked for the same thing. I apologise if that's the case. I have created this table: https://github.com/SeveFP/KDE_IM_Requirements/wiki/XMPP-Table based on the one at https://community.kde.org/IM_Survey_Results I was not sure if I was allowed to modify the current table at https://community.kde.org, that's why I started creating one by myself first, to let you check it. It has been a long time, trying to check all emails and blog posts. If there's any requirement empty it's probably because I didn't understand what it means. Let me point out that XMPP is a safe bet for years to come, as it's a widely deployed living standard. Being this such an important move, I would like you to think about XMPP as an option. Personally, KDE has been doing awesome work with KTP and I would love to see more work in this direction with XMPP. Also, a mention to https://kdetalk.net/ is well deserved. The XMPP community is really great, welcoming and active. Don't hesitate to approach it, you won't be disappointed! Thank you for your time, Severino Ferrer de la Peñita.
