I've had a lot of people asking for this in the past. Personally, I don't like it, but I promised to make it possible by abstracting most of the voip functionality in a library, so if anybody wants he could use that in the text-ui (or vice versa, since the text-ui is also a library). However, as David already mentioned, it is a lot easier to develop them separately. _______________________________________________ KDE-Telepathy mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy
