If anything they probably should have asked him some questions before running the other story. People complain about a lot of things in their blogs, including the decisions others make in software projects. One party wants to take his ball and go home, because the work has been side-lined, but since people want webcam support in their IM clients, it turns into some grand conspiracy about whether Google is usurping gaim and turning it into Google Talk.

Drama in an open source project?! Never! The desire to start over from scratch?! When does that happen? It's almost as if it's like every other social group!

When the first bounties were announced for gnome there were some Gaim bounties.

At the time people were already questioning if they would ever be accepted even before work started.

Could it jeopordize the windows port or the useof libgaim in Adium on OS X?

I don't know small details about switching, but it could important.

However, if it so easy to switch those libs, why not make them optional?

I don't like arguing and doomsaying like that, so I hope that misunderstanding will be cleaned up. Sun, 13 Nov 2005 11:29:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (pecisk) Comments
