Kopete, The KDE Messenger Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett <duncan@kde.org> http://kopete.kde.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kopete is an Instant Messaging client being designed to be modular and plugin based. It requires the KDE Desktop, version 3 or higher. Kopete ships with a lot of protocol plugins, most of which are actively supported. The MSN, ICQ, AIM, Jabber and IRC plugins have seen numerous enhancements and bugfixes since the last release and should bring your Kopete experience to a whole new level. Additionally there are some new plugins, but not all of them are considered fully usable yet. The Gadu-Gadu plugin is complete and supported. WinPopup should be complete, but is not yet supported in this release. The Yahoo plugin and the new Oscar plugin (which is scheduled to replace both the ICQ and AIM plugins) are under development and not ready for general use yet. As always, bug reports and patches are welcome, but especially for the new 'unsupported' plugins we'd like you to check the current development version of Kopete in KDE CVS before filing bug reports or submitting patches. The code is simply too much subject to change for these plugins. The Kopete team consists now of several active developers, working on the various plugins and the core API. However, Kopete wouldn't be in the shape in which it is now without the various contributions from KDE developers all over the world and the high-quality bug reports from active users. Thanks to all of you for your support and your interest in Kopete! The Kopete main developers can be contacted on our mailing list, kopete-devel@kde.org.
