Using (and by extension promoting) a closed source messaging app is crazy (imho). It has not been mentioned yet so... what about Matrix? http://matrix.org/ It bridges to irc (like a bouncer) and you can use it without forcing (or inviting) anyone else to use it... It also have an android client (on fdroid or your phone store) : https://riot.im/ it also has voice/video calls. I've been using it since a few months now. The only problem for me right now is I don't see join/part on freenode (it is not enabled yet for performance). Though I can see them on irc.mozilla.org. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
