* After evaluating Empathy(1) with Colin Walters (walters) and Will Woods (wwoods), FESCo felt that Empathy wasn't ready at this time to become the default IM client for Fedora 10. This was due to some missing features and bugs in comparison to Pidgin. The plan is to reevaluate Empathy for Fedora 11, since most of the current issues should be resolved for Gnome 2.26.
I notice on my F9 copy of Empathy that there is no support for MSN or AIM on the default Empahty install i got (even though the 'help' claims supports it). More importantly, I see no OTR support. Which means this default app change is like going from ssh to telnet.
is not to the say, that I disagree with the decision itself. Just that it is very very late.
I do disagree with a switch. And I do hate pidgin with a vengance. Paul -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
