Hello Pali, Happy to hear the project is not dead! :) I didn't see any reply from you in this thread so I started worrying, sorry. I use KDE Telepathy for Jabber and ICQ and never heard that KDE Telepathy was meant to be simple. It may be lacking some features because it's a younger project, not because its developers are afraid of making it too complicated. Of course Kopete's UI is different, thus longtime users of Kopete many be uncomfortable with KTP and this is IMO the very reason to keep Kopete alive. Anyways, best wishes in making Kopete better! -- Alexander Potashev >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
