Thanks for the clarification! OpenDHT could technically be used for messagning (or other functions) without the rest of Ring which uses openDHT as a means to connect two peers, but then adds SIP and encryption to enable audio/video calling and forward secrecy during these calls. So probably "telepahty-opendht-ring" would be more accurate... would you prefer "telepathy-opendht-ring-sfl" or maybe "telepathy-ring-sfl" to distinguish the vendor? > > Regards, > > Daniel > _______________________________________________ > telepathy mailing list > telepathy@lists.freedesktop.org > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy >
