KDE Telepathy or Kopete

[David Edmundson]

We have a 0.3 all branched up, with loads of changes ready for a
0.3.1. Just no-ones got round to updating the version number and
rolling tarballs.

0.3 is feature lacking in several respects to Kopete. Especially wrt
chat logs and metacontacts.

We need all these bug reports, and testing phases before we can
release publicly. In fact you guys pushing it in your betas I think
has helped as we've had a spike in wishlists/a few bugs after you
started making it available. Being available in the repos for 6 months
will really help us get something really good for 12.10 and not only
will be near feature compatibility you'll have plenty of reasons of
why KTp is better than Kopete (current master has working video calls
to gmail for example)

Personally I'd rather you kept Kopete for now /but/ I can see why you
don't want to maintain Kopete backends for another 3 years.
