At the moment, the default for a lot of users is a non-free solution that cares little for GNOME or any other free desktop. I, too, feel that having a nice Telepathy-based solution would be a positive thing - but I haven't seen any evidence that anybody has committed to develop it before the Jessie freeze. If that was to change I'd be more than happy to test it and evaluate it on its merits and provide whatever feedback and encouragement I could. That said, if Jitsi (or one of the other free softphones) does manage to expand the free communication userbase significantly and keep us in touch with the WebRTC world, this may provide more motivation for the GNOME Project and others to rally around standards like TURN and then people will have a nice Telepathy-based solution for Jessie+1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
