Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support

Posted by timothy on from the run-for-the-money dept.

RAMMS+EIN writes "Everyone's favorite instant messenger, Gaim, has recently been forked. The new gaim-vv project aims to provide voice and video chat support, which will eventually be backported into the main branch." Nice to see an amicable fork; it sounds like this will mean competition for GnomeMeeting.

    Well, I think it may conserve energy, but probably not much. Depends on the mechanism used. Maybe using the brake's friction combined with the potential energy of the spring would be a more prudent effort. But I think I would leave that to an engineer, not a biologist, like myself. ;)

    *Sticks a fork in SCSI's duck* Hmmm... I think it's done...

    How high can a duck with nano-springs in his feet jump, anyhow?

    Ooops... please forgive me. I've had little sleep and my associations have become rather loose of late...
