... lma, I think the offer of "help getting things done" might include some more access to closed components for a developer willing to step up to the plate here...

I know that Jablet has been dead for a while (mostly thanks -- or no thanks -- to RTComm development) and was created to work with the Jabber (XMPP) protocol. But, I wonder if Zerojay could help in this area? (Since he's back and all.)

Wow, shocked anyone even remembers that. Hmm, XMPP server for IM again... could be interesting. I'll look into it.

Yes, we could consider a "Fremantle Star" treatment to someone working on bringing e.g. IRC and other protocols to end users. Preferrably extending the very same RTComm framework and user experience, making life easier to end users familiar with the pre-installed tools.

It would be good to know what Will Thomson and the rest of telepathy-haze maintainers think themselves about this.

Right, sorry I misunderstood you...

It may also be worthwhile pinging Miika Kuha and the other people behind http://productivity.garage.maemo.org/. IIRC at the time of last year's summit talk they had around 16K Nokia tablet users using a slightly patched pidgin for sametime support.

Pidgin + Sametime is in Diablo Extras, isn't it? It will be no surprise to see Pidgin in Fremantle as well, but the interesting approach (with all respects) is to use the same UI and framework for different kinds of protocols.

Yes, but telepathy-haze could also provide sametime support in rtcomm.

Exactly, and perhaps more importantly a unified addressbook. The particular use case from the above garage page: "Created a plugin for invoking SIP call from the buddylist".

True, you should contact your contacts through the same contacts application.

A joke maybe, but this has been a constant issue with most third-party apps that utilize "contacts" in some way or another... In fact, the Claws-Mail devs plainly will not use the current Maemo Contacts protocols because of philosophical differences.

Of course, since I'm not a dev, I don't completely understand, but I would like to see Maemo Contacts be something that was easy for everyone to utilize.

And that is why I won't use Claws-Mail.
