Gaim has some nice to read news. Including upcoming SIP/SIMPLE support (from gaim-vv).

But the paragraph I liked most is the following:

“I (Sean) [the main gaim lead devel] have been hired by Google, moved to Seattle, and have been working on the Google Talk team for about a month and a half. […] Currently, I’m working on making it as easy as possible for other clients to use Google Talk’s voice features. You can expect Gaim and other clients to be interoperable with Google Talk’s voice features in the near future.”

So google is still playing “good guys”. At least as long as it’s bad for their competitors (Skype, MSN, Yahoo Messenger…)?
