Hi Pierre,

Long term, Ring as a name would disappear completely to be replaced by
Jami.  The Jami developers have so far focused on changing the bits that
were the most visible for the users, but they won't stop there.

I'd be happy to help you in packaging Jami; it's been lurking on my TODO
for far to long :-).  I could start by packaging OpenDHT, which should
be relatively straightforward (and a dependency of Jami).  What do you
think?
