Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre mathieu...@ubuntu.com Hi, I am currently building a prototype telepathy client that uses the Ubuntu SDK (ubuntu IM). I don't have much free time right now either, but I think by May it should have basic functionality and be ready to be merged into messaging-app. I don't care about any fancy features (video, group chats etc) for now. Contact me as soon as you have some free time. This is how it looks currently (only the contact lists works so far): https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QWPflH3ZDqE/UwjEBixOHDI/ATs/Pnuv878-YDs/w426-h887/ubuntu-im.png Best Regards, Kai -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

XMPP Support in Messaging-App
Hi All, sorry if this is the wrong list for this topic. It concerns both the desktop and the phone. What currently bugs me most about Ubuntu Touch and the new apps is that there is currently no support for instant messaging. Yeah, there is the messaging-app but it only supports SMS and lets face it: this isn't the 90ties anymore. So I really hope that some form of IM support can land in the messaging-app. Personally I only care about XMPP, but as the app already uses telepathy it should be easy to add any other protocol to as soon as one of them has landed. Also we could add support for the Facebook XMPP server like on current Empathy. This would mean an easy transition to the OS for most users and could make up for the fact that Ubuntu touch doesn't support WhatsApp. I have the fear that Ubuntu will go down the road of Android and have an App for every service, which would be horrible (and it is not even possible with the current restrictions afaik). If we have a nice multi-protocol messenger in the style of Google Hangouts or WhatsApp that would be really a killer feature. I remember that Maemo even had a telepathy plugin for Skype that worked pretty well. To come to the point: I would really like to implement this! But I cannot do it by myself. This needs a lot of design work in the messaging-app and I also need people to give me some help on where to start. And even then, this is a LOT of work. So, I would hope that some people will read this and maybe think that they could join me in this task. Additionally, I would like to see support from the Ubuntu Community that this feature is actually wanted. Maybe somebody at Canonical is already working on this? Thanks!
