i downloaded and tried empathy. And it just worked :D

I have a suggestion. The username and password in the settings section is very hidden… it should be at the top to be easily

You talk about a similiar project in SoC about voice call. Did you see this other project??

Its a python telepathy client that suports gTalk calls… it appears in planet.gnome.org so i asume that you saw it.

the other thinks is…

GREEAAAAAT!!!

i love that kind of integration.. i’d love to see that kind of feature in evolution or nautilus… i hope to see it integrated in whole gnome some day..

I know about the other project, but it does not have to same goals as me. I want GNOME desktop integration, the only solution for that is using C language (and making bindings) and use a MissionControl. Empathy is the only project to do that!

The grapevine name can't be used because it's a trademark I think. mikem> gossip-telepathy does not uses a MissionControl and does not provides widgets in a library, so it makes desktop integration impossible.

Right now the only missing part is the integration with mission control, but I will be happy to integrate it into tapioca if it will be used. This also simplify the integration with others mission controls as decibel that already uses out qt library.

I agree it's not a perfect situation, there is lot of work duplicated between both projects.
