First, please reply all when emailing this list so that your responses go the entire list. Secondly, the Bonjour protocol (or more properly known as ZeroConfig) is already supported in Pidgin, so when you say "I would love to see more features on this IM" it leads me to believe that you don't know that it is already supported. But please be aware that Bonjour does a lot more than chat. For example, Pidgin won't help you find a Bonjour-supported printer, or find AirPlay devices on your network. :) Here is the wikipedia article on ZeroConfig: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking >From an implementation perspective, your network complexity can make or break a Bonjour roll-out. This is because of the way discovery works. Unless you have an mDNS reflector, running Bonjour from different subnets can have problems. http://linux.die.net/man/5/avahi-daemon.conf >From a Linux-desktop perspective, install avahi-discover and it should work automatically. I do believe there is a lack of documentation on this topic, but from a functionality perspective, it already works very well! Below is a screenshot of Windows 8 talking to Ubuntu 12.04 using the Bonjour protocol. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Sun, Nov 2, 2014 at 10:26 PM, Alexandro Colorado <j...@oooes.org> wrote: > Hi thanks, this is not really what I am looking for, I use linux.
