Hi everyone, Do we really need two concurrent products for instant messaging - Kopete and KDE Telepathy? I don't imply the answer to be "no" because Kopete may well have strong advantages over KTP for some users, I just want you to make sure those advantageous features cannot be implemented in KTP and that porting and maintaining Kopete is worth those advantages.
I believe that getting Kopete to the KF5 world is not just a one-time task. Kopete is now mature but it won't be the same after porting, therefore we need an active team of people, not just one maintainer. If you (by "you" I mean the current maintainer primarily) finally decide to port Kopete to KF5, I suggest you to share code between Kopete and KTP. For example KTP already implements a chat window featuring chats in multiple tabs of its single window that Alexandro asks for. -- Alexander Potashev 2015-03-15 1:54 GMT+03:00 Alexandro Colorado <j...@oooes.org>: > BTW sorry for hijacking the thread.
