<br><br>"Rewrite" is a bit harsh. We don't leverage Telepathy. But then, when we<br>wrote the softphone, that wasn't an option.<br><br>Also, we're looking for a very large public - so from the start we were

</blockquote></div>Ok...<br><br>I was going to write this a bit sooner, but since things got side tracked, it seems not to matter. First I'd like to say that SMS/Pidgin (or similar) integration would be uber cool in my opinion.
<br><br>Secondly I have to say this following bit for the record: Text Messaging != Instant Messaging. SMS = Text Messaging.<br><br>While long ago this thread was jacked (Demonstrating one of the failures of using a thread based messaging system). We probably should go back and look at the original purpose of the thread: to "focus on the tasks involved in a Text
Message application.
