you mention the extremely long development time of pidgin is partly due to the 
fact that all your developers are not that interested in features such as video 
call/teleconferencing, etc. i'd just like to point out that if you are to be a 
serious contender in the im market, their likes/dislikes mean nothing. this is 
business and if people that work on the project (even if they're volunteers) 
cannot meet this commitment, then you should withdraw your product from the 
market as 'unsupportable'. don't get me wrong... i love pidgin. but without 
features to help me conduct business on a daily basis, it is worthless. i hope 
your developers will realize that if they're going to compete in a major 
marketplace, they need to push their personal preferences aside, because they 
are producing a product for the market, not themselves.
