Empathy 2.30 Roadmap

More and more distributions are now planning to ship Empathy as their default chat client: Fedora, Mandriva, Moblin, OpenSuse, Ubuntu, and so on. As a result of this, and because we want to offer the best experience to our users, we at Collabora decided to put more resources on the Empathy project. That's why, as of this Monday, I'm now working full-time on Empathy, and have become co-maintainer with Xavier.

One of my first tasks has been to write a roadmap for Empathy 2.30. As I said on the wiki page, these are really just guidelines detailing the general direction we want to give to the project. We'll, of course, continue to review patches[1] from contributors and to fix nasty issues such as regressions and crashers reported by users.

So don't hesitate to report any issue you could have experienced with Empathy and join the Empathy/Telepathy community to help us to make 2.30 rock!

Notes

[1] yay for the new review feature on the GNOME Bugzilla!

It is incredibly nice to finally being able to use the telepathy stuff which has seemingly under development forver... I am living without Pidgin for a week now and it seems to go well so far. Only critical missing feature in Empathy right now is OTR... :/

Can't file a bug report right now, but have you noticed, that when going on and off in MUCs, the contact/user-list disappears?

Maybe online/offline status should be bound to NetworkManager, so that could be improved?

@mimox > OTR is a problem that can be solved in Empathy only. See http://robot101.net/2009/10/14/tele... for the plans for OTR

@mie : Empathy already use NetworkManager if you have the support for it compiled
