   REVISED POST

   Hello!

   I was just browsing FSF's High Priority Projects
   ([1]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:High_Priority_Projects) a
   nd PRISM ([2]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:PRISM).

   I found out that some applications listed there for secure and private
   communications were not imported into Guix yet. The applications are:

   [1] CyrptoCat ([3]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Cryptocat)

   [2] Ekiga ([4]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Ekiga) *

   [3] Empathy ([5]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Empathy) *

   [4] Jitsi ([6]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Jitsi) **

   [5] Linphone ([7]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Linphone)

   [6] Ricochet ([8]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Ricochet)

   [7] Wire ([9]https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Wire) **

   * Part of GNOME, but not in Guix yet.

   ** Very useful for non-techsavvy users.

   Thank you!

   HAPPY TO SEE THE COUNT REDUCED :)

This has no releases and requires NPM libraries.

This is buggy. Last release 5 years ago.

"Empathy is looking for a new maintainer, see Attic/Unmaintained."

We have pidgin, pidgin-otr, Jami and Tox. Tox offers both Voice and 
Video calls it seems. Jami offers both Voice and Audio and video 
conference calls.

> [4] Jitsi (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Jitsi) **

No release since oct 2018, requires java and ant.
Supports Gtalk/Hangouts which will have to be evaluated for 
freedom/privacy issues.

> [5] Linphone (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Linphone)

Last release was a year ago. SIP VOIP communicator. We have Jami and Tox.

> [6] Ricochet (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Ricochet)

Last release 7 Nov 2016

> [7] Wire (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Wire) **

This is not that likely if you don't package one of these yourself.

I found something during my review:

I found guile bindings for tox!
https://github.com/urras/guile-toxcore (no release yet though and they 
use an old tox API it seems)

Happy packaging.
