Comment (by iwkse):

 *I talk to all people which ask for a/v support in pidgin*

 Let it be pidgin and try http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/ or
 everything else far from pidgin just for these reasons:

 1) Pidgin developers do not care at all about their users and that's not
 something just on the a/v support.

 This is something odd in the free software and open source community. They
 are like the exception in this, the nazi devs side. I wondered (and with
 me many other people) why pidgin(gaim) is free software while they act
 perfectly as it was a closed source chunk.

 We found a reply on this, and as the previous person said, pidgin is a
 software done by hobbyist. This is completely true if you just take a look
 to the source code and the many leaks it has.

 2) Pidgin has nothing more than other free software already available in
 the community. In the contrary it leaks important features as audio/video.
 Msn support is ridiculous with many features that works bad and some other
 just implemented but expressly not included in the interface.

 3) Do not forget that money has a great influence here...they do not add
 features cause they don't want, it's easy to understand it. All that nice
 stories about interest, time, hobby are good for young children not for
 adults. You never have to forget why gaim-vv was stopped and why gtalk was
 developed. They control you users, so leave pidgin for the same reason we
 do not like Mr. Gates. There isn't a lot of difference. You're voice isn't
 listened, never. But open source developers are glad to help users and to
 improve software in this direction. So if they do not do, please leave
 them alone in their shit.

 4) The only moral word they can understand is money.
