there are more than 235,000 lines of code in kopete. We have our own library, application, and plugins. IMO, that's plenty of justification. If we move Kopete to trunk/KDE/kopete, then a and b are not issues, because we would still be a core KDE module. e becomes very easy for packagers and other folks to do. c is a weak point because i'm not talking about having our own release schedules all the time. In fact, I think it makes lots of sense to still release with the KDE releases. Kopete 0.12 was a special case, since KDE 4 is going to be a long way away. i don't want to move extragear. if we don't move to trunk/KDE/kopete, we might as well just stay in kdenetwork. Instant messaging is not a PIM app, so kdepim makes no sense, no matter how much addressbook integration we have. -- Matt _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
