Empathy to be default in Fedora11?

[Demz]

is it ready yet or no? anyone take any screenshots of it?

Hi

Refer

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Empathy

Screenshots don't show you much. It looks pretty much the same as in Fedora 10.

I haven't heard any talk of it, and if it wasn't set for the Alpha, it doesn't seem likely.
Their features page is still at 0%, which further suggests that it won't be.

Hi,

Feature freeze is not at Alpha.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/Schedule

I can confirm, it is still the plan.

[Demz]

thanks for the link Rahul but if its not much different from Fedora10's Empathy why are they considering it to be as default now? , most people will just remove it in favor of Pidgin

[RahulSundaram]

Hi,

I said visually it won't look much different but a number of issues have been fixed. It has been shown repetitively that most users stick to the defaults in general.

something i'll have to see for myself , , i didnt mind Empathy when i tried it in F10 but lacked stuff in it i like in Pidgin

i may even try the Beta an try Empathy there

Hi,

For seeing it for yourself, you need to download the alpha image or upgrade to rawhide on a test system.

thats the problem, i aint got a test system to use it on :( i may just take my chances an install the beta on my production system when its out an see it for myself

[RahulSundaram]

Hi,

You can still test it under a virtual machine using one of the virtualization solutions.

[Demz]

think i'll wait for Beta since im not big on testing
