IF there's still time, I'd support shipping Karmic without a messenger. The only downside is that we conduct much of the Ubuntu Studio work on IRC and shipping without any IRC client might send a slight anti-participatory signal to users (just a slight one). I do feel though that if we do ship a messenger, there's no reason to stray from the default Ubuntu client (empathy in this case). - Eric -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
