Package: emacs
Severity: wishlist
I'd like if one of the most wonderful and adorable Jabber clients,
jabber.el (aka emacs-jabber, <http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net>) is
evaluated for inclusion in Emacs 24.
Possible caveats:
- Copyright assignment: there are not so many contributors AFAIK so it
should be doable.
- Uses (optionally) FLIM features.
- Most probably something else I'm missing.
Pros:
- Rocks.
- Really rocks. (Personally I find it much more convenient than the
official GNU Jabber client GNU Freetalk.)
- Jabber (XMPP) is the only free IM protocol, replacement of the
proprietary AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!, Gadu-Gadu, etc. etc. protocols.
I find it odd that Emacs has 2 IRC clients (ERC and the default
rcirc), but no Jabber client.
- Has many users; some of them have abandoned sophisticated GUI Jabber
clients (such as Pidgin/Gajim/Psi/Empathy/etc) in favor of
jabber.el. (Well, mostly because they're Emacs users, but the
argument still holds.)
I know such requests should come from the add-on package
maintainer(s), but I see no harm reporting it to the Emacs BTS as a
user.

Indeed.

These have been merged into Gnus, and in turn into Emacs 23.

Uses CL liberally. In particular, the following functions are used:
delete-if
delete-if-not
find
find-if
intersection
remove-if
remove-if-not
set-difference
union
And as I'm allergic to code duplication, I'm reluctant to change that.
Could these functions have aliases starting with cl-? Or could someone
persuade me not to use these functions? :)

close 896
thanks
When I'm looking at http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net/ I see the
latest release is from 8-May-2013. That's nearly 5 years ago. So it
seems to me the popularity of this package is fairly minimal.
Also the popularity of XMPP/Jabber decreased dramatically over the last
years, one of the reasons is that Google moved away from XMPP in 2013.
So I'm closing this request, since I no longer consider it relevant.
