Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support 301

Posted by timothy on Sunday April 25, 2004 @02:12AM from the run-for-the-money dept.

RAMMS+EIN writes "Everyone's favorite instant messenger, Gaim, has recently been forked. The new gaim-vv project aims to provide voice and video chat support, which will eventually be backported into the main branch." Nice to see an amicable fork; it sounds like this will mean competition for GnomeMeeting.

I just wish the devs would make something that they could be proud to call a 1.0 release.
But then again, this software is their gift to me, I have no room to bitch :)

I just realized. Seeing as the true geeks use open source and all, that'll just give us one less reason to go out and be social... As soon as they develop a usb-automated back scratcher and/or fridge/microwave, I'm not leaving the house!

``I don't want voice or video chat. I talk to people in real life or via phonograph.''

Do write a plugin for that, so that us Gaim users can have it too!

Since I run Debian, I should read Slashdot from a year or so ago, to read about all the latest programs I can apt-get.

Can make a tray icon on minimizing, but can't remove task bar icon.

Don't minimize it, close the window.
