Can we expect a Telepathy messaging plugin for "new" Google Hangouts or irc?
 

Can we expect anyone to bother to port the "new" Google Hangouts protocol (currently available as a standalone application) into the Jolla native Telepathy messaging system?
And the same question about irc (which used to be available on Maemo), would this happen with telepathy-haze?
Thanks for any info you can provide. Inb4 "write it yourself".

IRC can also be supported by telepathy-idle, if I remember correctly?..

I expect that compiling telepathy-haze for Jolla would be easier than creating a telepathy-hangouts. Still, somebody could take it on...

Thank you. Best wishes.

Turns out word from up on high is that Google will not be dropping support for XMPP at least for now. So I guess my original question has become somewhat moot. Native irc support would be nice, though.

It would pee me and I hope many others if we got another Google service before they've finished SIP.
