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.

    Perhaps the gaim developers should spend more time worrying about actually properly supporting the protocols (especially msn) and less time playing with voice and video chatting.

    I don't want voice or video chat. I talk to people in real life or via phonograph.

    Yeah, that's real realistic.

    Hey you know what happened yesterday, asswipe? I wasn't happy with the performance of my Toyota, so I opened it up and bolted on two turbochargers, then I shipped it back to Japan with express delivery and they fucking employed me and accepted the changes! And I didn't even have to learn anything about cars! Fucking ace huh?

    PISS OFF.

    Strictly, gentoo users are the people with strange CFLAGS and funny errors, and they file bugs without thinking of their extremely unsupported compiler optimisations, just because they want the thing to go a *little* bit faster. What's the point?
