Public bug reported:
Ekiga is an Internet/VoIP softphone. After signing up with the
ekiga.net SIP service on startup, there are no hints about how to use
this and no way to test that the SIP connection is currently working.
The sip: URI bar at the top of the screen could do with being populated
with an example, such as:
sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
("hello" is likely to be understood in many languages). The portion of
this URI afte the 'sip:' can be highlighted so it is automatically
overwritten if the user begins to type or paste a number in.
The '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' could say 'Welcome' or 'Hello' in multiple
languages followed by the useful 4-second loopback test. This would
ensure the user was comforted, even if their microphone was not working
and would check for a working SIP connection.
Currently there is no clue as to how to start using Ekiga or ekiga.net
after installation. I have seen other clients provide an example such
as "Dial 10000" to say hi and speak to our test-service/helpdesk.
