To me, this seems like the way forward. It's worth noting that Empathy is modular, and so a different chat component could be used to provide a palette of images, or something, for people who wish to chat this way, which would prepare a message using inline graphics that any user could view. This would require some work in Telepathy-Gabble and Empathy to support rich-text messages (which we want to do eventually anyway). > Another question then: Is there any support currently for Ruby > Annotation in any of these IM protocols? > If not; Are there any discussions going on concerning this afayk? Not as far as I know, however, this is an XML specification (as is XMPP), and XMPP is designed to be extensible, so it would probably not be too difficult to draft a XEP (extension to XMPP) to support it. We've implemented our own feature drafts in Telepathy-Gabble before (Tubes, Muji), so I don't think another would hurt. It would allow two Telepathy users to chat together (assuming their UIs understood the message type). Other chat programs could choose to implement the XEP too. --danni -- Danielle Madeley Software Developer, Collabora Ltd.
