(WIP for Telepathy (software).)
Telepathy is a software framework for interpersonal communications. It aims to simplify development of communications applications and promote code reuse by defining a logical boundary between the applications and underlying network protocols. Applications use Telepathy components via the D-Bus inter-process communication mechanism.
There are free software implementations of various protocols that export Telepathy interfaces:
- Gabble: for Jabber/XMPP, including support for Jingle (protocol)
- Butterfly: for MSN
- Idle: for IRC
Telepathy forms the basis of the instant messaging and voice/video calling software on the Nokia 770 and Nokia N800 as part of the Maemo platform.
