What's wrong with Kopete or Konversation?
I don't know, do not use both. Anyway in Kopete I do not like the appearance.
I don't think user base of Trinity is large anyway.
Well, the population of power users is small compared to regular users in
most cases anyway. You know what I meant; out of Trinity users I would
bet most people never even heard of kde-sim.
I completely agree with you. But if you take power users, or 90% of of the
messengers for KDE3 the picture will not change.
Not only sim, but I bet they did not heard about the following instant messengers:
kmess
psi
licq
kadu
and many others.

Oh now. It is quite enough for me that I maintain them in KDE:KDE3
I won't consider it for
inclusion in the Trinity archives until it supports the Yahoo protocol
legally again, and even then it would be conditional on your future
maintenance to handle problems with APIs, etc.
It is your project, maintain it yourself. I maintain my project,
you maintain yours. I only can point your attention to certain things.
From where I sit there are
plenty of good Trinity-integrated IRC applications available,
If you are talking about IRC apps, there are even more of them than instant messengers,
of course. But IRC and IM are something different things.
and effort
should be focused on fixing bugs and upcoming problems such as the
network-manager 0.9 API switch.
Sure.
