sycamoreone, any news on that one?

#4 Updated by sycamoreone 2015-02-10 21:41:01

I just started asking some of the people who (I think) were involved in the discussion at 31c3. I will report when there are concrete answers.

Any news? (I’m curious :)

#8 Updated by sycamoreone 2015-03-17 19:22:33

The last news I have is that the plan is still to work on a GUI (Feature #8575) in Q2 of 2015 and that a GUI has priority over IRC support. But I can ask about the state of things again. Also, it seems that agl would be fine with merging a nicely separated GUI into xmpp-client.

I am personally more interested in IRC support, so I will try to follow up on that.

In fact, who did you have in mind to ask when you created this ticket? Maybe I am asking the wrong people :).

  • agl to see if in theory he would be fine with expanding the scope of xmpp-client as wide as supporting IRC
  • Ola Bini to see if his team has plans to work on IRC support for xmpp-client

#11 Updated by BitingBird 2015-04-01 12:43:14

  • Target version changed from Tails_1.3.2 to Tails_1.4

#12 Updated by BitingBird 2015-05-11 18:11:27

  • Target version changed from Tails_1.4 to Tails_1.4.1

#13 Updated by intrigeri 2015-07-03 01:01:48

  • Target version changed from Tails_1.4.1 to Tails_1.5

Postponing. Any news?

#14 Updated by intrigeri 2015-08-04 08:08:08

  • Target version changed from Tails_1.5 to Tails_1.6

Ping?

What I know right now is this:

  • agl would be OK with a GUI if it was nicely separated.
  • For Ola Bini and his team a GUI for xmpp-client is a priority. IRC support might be added, but not now. Also they want to change more than “just” adding a GUI, so I think the result will probably end up as a separate project.

Thanks! So, my feeling is that we should do one of:

  • close this ticket (we’ve asked and got an answer);
  • postpone this ticket to 6-12 months in the future so that we look at it again when we’re there; but perhaps we’ll have decided to go with Tor Messenger instead.

=> sycamoreone: your call :)

Yes, I will close this ticket soon, but want to wait till after the CC camp as I hope to talk about this with with a few people there. Bug #8573 already covers the “looking again in the future”.

(Out of curiosity I started using the latest Tor Messenger alpha for a few things recently and while I would like to be able to recommend people a simple and clean xmpp-client based program, I can imagine that in the end using the Tor Messenger will be the better option for Tails. Time will tell.)

Ping? Time to close this ticket, maybe :)

Feature #8577 has some good news I think.

I guess so.
