Selling a device with some of these packages pre-installed might be tricky for a company...

The OS2008 Instant Messaging Upgrades had mixed results, some positive and so... so-la-la. How would you do it better in Fremantle? How a community project could integrate these protocols as add-ons?

Is it there enough developer energy to back this project? What are the obstacles that need to be removed in the RTComm framework and applications (if any)? What is the specific work that would be required in the related upstream projects (if any)?

One of the lessons learned with the RTComm is that there is indeed a user demand and the Telepathy ramifications have most of the elements to satisfy them. Maemo is a good customer of Telepathy and it makes sense to try out and experiment things here.
