[Gossip-dev] Gossip for GNOME 2.16?

[David Nielsen]

Hi list

Pretaining to Michal' earlier blog post on the subject, I was wondering
if there was any interest in proposing Gossip for the coming 2.16 cycle.
I, for one, would love to see GNOME take a more active step in
supporting open standards like Jabber- if Google can do it, one of the
single most influencial IT companies, surely we could eat our own
poison.

Gossip would make an outstanding contribution to the platform, we don't
currently provide any means of instant messaging and looking around at
my peers this is one of the single most used features on alternative
platforms - having this would therefore potentially increase our
marketshare and attract more users.

Kind regards
David Nielsen
