KDE Telepathy or Kopete
 

Lo'

As we do not agree on whether we agree on a decision I'd like everyone
to cast a vote in favor of KTP or Kopete as default for 12.04. The
relevant discussion can be found at [1].

A quick list out of the top of my head (by no means complete, so
please consult the discussion thread if unsure):

KTP
pro: maintained, good upstream relations, more reliable (?)
con: lacks some features, no integration with message indicator (!),
issues are not well known due to limited volume of deployments

Kopete
pro: well known issues, supports (most of the) features KTP does not
con: well known issues, (pretty much) unmaintained

Course of action when in favor of KTP: Kopete off CD and removal from
kickoff favorites.
Course of action when in favor of Kopete: KTP still in archive and
easily installable + PPA packages of upcoming new versions + public
call for testing of both. Target for KTP integration would be 12.10.

If we decide to ship ktp, then we should release 0.4 and provide updates some
how to 0.5 since afaik ktp development team haven't release any minor release
ever (maybe they start doing so in 0.4).

Considering 0.5 will probably bring new features that sounds somewhat
dangerous TBH. There is a good reason for stable release updating only
selected bugfixes.

Ask yourself this question first, which is likely to be around for
the next 5 years if you are following ubuntu's lts policy of 5 years
on the desktop?

If kopete is likely to die completely in 12 months time then you guys
are left supporting it alone for a further 4 years. My suggestion
would be to go with the one actively being support and improved rather
than the one that might not be here.

Empathy on gnome was shipped whilst it and telepathy were still fairly
unknown however it has matured a lot (still sucks for irc but it is a
hell of a lot better than it was) the under lying telepathy stuff is
fairly stable and very rarely breaks here in gnome and when it does
most of the time it is empathy's fault or a change in the servers api
ie when facebook moved to jabber for example.

THe decision is obviously yours but I thought I'd add my 2 pennies
worth I hope it helps :)

KDE Telepathy or Kopete
 

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.

Awesome! then maybe we can ship with 0.4 and update bugs with stable releases?

That will give us:
-Support (kopete has none now)
-Featured Ktp
-Prepare for the future :33

Is there any way of migrating accounts from kopete to ktp?
