Summary

Kubuntu should integrate a VOIP solution out of the box, possibly providing video support, with interoperability with Windows/OSX.

Rationale

Several QT/KDE solution exist, but none of them is currently included in Kubuntu. Ubuntu as Ekiga and we need to ship the best equivalent. Softwares existing:

  • Wengophone: SIP solution using a closed network, that should be opened soon.
  • Jabbin: libjabbin based jabber client, supposed to support video with v3.
  • Twinkle: SIP based solution, no video support is planed in the future.
  • Kopete: Suposed to be libjabbin compatible, but doesn't work with latest libjabbin version.

Use Case

  1. Paul's ISP offers an SIP service, and he wants to use it with Kubuntu.
  2. Kate has contacts using windows or OSX, and wants to audio/video chat with them.

Scope

Kubuntu should focus on using the best software, with the best kde integration, and interoperable features.

  • Wengophone looks like the most complete software, but its network isn't currently opened to other SIP services.
  • Jabbin doesn't support video at the moment.
  • Twinkle is a superb SIP client, but is limited to audio.

As the perfect client doesn't exist, we should define priorities and test them widely to make a choice.
