Re: [Trisquel-users] Development of Trisquel 8.0 "Flidas" Software proposal by category : Internet

* Ekiga? I vote no. I've never managed to get it to work, and WebRTC systems  
like Meet.jit.si and Palava.tv make a local app for voice/ video chat  
obselete. Put Ekiga in the repos for anyone who knows how to use it and wants  
to.
* I vote for Transmission. It's always worked fine for me and it's  
cross-platform, which means there's a better chance someone migrating to  
Trisquel from Windows or MacOSX will have used it. Does anyone even use eMule  
anymore?
* Filezilla? I vote no. I haven't used an FTP client for at least a decade,  
CMS have made them mostly obselete. Put it in the repos for those who want to  
use it.
* I abstain on the question of email client. I mostly use webmail, but I can  
see an argument for encouraging people to keep their own mail on their local  
drive, managed via a local client. If I had to choose I would prefer IceDove  
to Evolution.
* Does anyone other than ubergeeks like us actually use RSS? Confession: I  
don't :P
* Does anyone use local IM clients? If we need it, Pidgin is a good choice,  
as it's cross-platform (see my point on Transmission).
