Revision as of 01:43, 29 January 2009
Feature Wrangler Review
- Please update owner information
- John, why do you think feature ownership should be limited to individuals ?
- I'm fine with having the desktop team being the owners, but we need some kind of e-mail addy, so we can contact feature owners on FESCo meeting invites, summaries, etc. - bpepple
- If FESCo doesn't know how to contact the desktop team, we have a problem...
Pro Arguments for Empathy
- Voice chat with GoogleTalk (though this will probably need us to look at our firewall rules for this to work out of the box) - bpepple
- Better GNOME integration the Pidgin - bpepple
- Account migration support from Pidgin has been added to Empathy. Not really a big issue since this feature is for new installs, but still worth pointing out. - bpepple
- Support for Tubes (for AbiWord collaration, etc) - bepple
Con Arguments for Empathy
- File transfer support currently is only implemented for Link-local XMPP (telepathy-salut) - bpepple
- Missing plugin system, so many of the add-on features available to Pidgin (like encryption, etc) are not available to Empathy - bpepple
- Account dialog still has some issues (like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548717), which I'm not sure will be completed before F11 - bpepple
IRC support (telepathy-idle) sorta sucks in Empathy. for example, chat windows don't show what irc-room it's for.- bpepple- I just tried again, and found that it does show the channel information nowadays. This has been fixed. - mclasen
- Telepathy-haze multi-protocol support has been a bit spotty. We seem to get a fair amount of bug reports about the various protocols (yahoo, etc) not working for folks. - bpepple
Misc wish list items
- Support for logging in with GSSAPI/Kerberos with XMPP. Pidgin currently supports this, but I'm not 100% sure this should be considered a block for making Empathy the default IM. Bug #472655 - bpepple
