If people have to use the same software in order to communicate with each other then that would be a failure. Diversity is great and people should be able to use whatever they want in order to communicate with their friends because otherwise it would be like skype, granted on an open protocol so it wouldn't be that terrible but still painful. Right now the solution to that problem seems to be jingle as gtalk is compatible with it and geeks can freely use their favorite XMPP client on their free OS and add their windows and mac friends who can use gtalk or trillian or pidgin or adium (when they get support for it and they already do through patches for the most part). > People talk about GTK+ under MacOS X for years now and nothing stable > has been produced yet :/ > true but it's doing pretty good since imendio took off and sponsored the development. The way I see it right now is gtalk+pdgin on windows adium on mac and many clients on free unices. So the future looks good for free compatible voip on all platforms (and even for video as adium and pidgin are getting it). _______________________________________________ Wengophone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://dev.openwengo.com/mailman/listinfo/wengophone-devel
