A Little Empathy For Pidgin

"As listed on the project’s website, the framework has three main benefits:

"Real-time: Telepathy supports instant messaging (both one-to-one and in groups), voice calls and video calls; it’s less suited for store-and-forward applications like email.

"Unified: Many different programs can take advantage of these communications; Telepathy lets these programs work together.

"Framework: Telepathy allows the different aspects of communication handling to be divided between different parts of the system, meaning each part is simple."
