Wanderlust/2.15.5 (Almost Unreal) SEMI/1.14.6 (Maruoka) FLIM/1.14.9 (Gojō) APEL/10.7 Emacs/22.2 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) MULE/5.0 (SAKAKI) |
Package: emacs
Severity: wishlist
I'd like if one of the most wonderful and adorable Jabber clients,
jabber.el (aka emacs-jabber, <http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net>) is
evaluated for inclusion in Emacs 24.
Possible caveats:
- Copyright assignment: there are not so many contributors AFAIK so it
should be doable.
- Uses (optionally) FLIM features.
- Most probably something else I'm missing.
Pros:
- Rocks.
- Really rocks. (Personally I find it much more convenient than the
official GNU Jabber client GNU Freetalk.)
- Jabber (XMPP) is the only free IM protocol, replacement of the
proprietary AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!, Gadu-Gadu, etc. etc. protocols.
I find it odd that Emacs has 2 IRC clients (ERC and the default
rcirc), but no Jabber client.
- Has many users; some of them have abandoned sophisticated GUI Jabber
clients (such as Pidgin/Gajim/Psi/Empathy/etc) in favor of
jabber.el. (Well, mostly because they're Emacs users, but the
argument still holds.)
I know such requests should come from the add-on package
maintainer(s), but I see no harm reporting it to the Emacs BTS as a
user.
