Wengo stopped developing wengophone

Published by Stef at 4:05 pm under eng

Some disappointing news today: Wengo stopped developing Wengophone, the VoIP SIP and XMPP/Jabber multiplatform client.   They announced it in the developer’s mailing list.

Update: the development of OpenWengo software has been taken over by an experienced Wengo programmer.

I wonder why Google isn’t contributing its gtalk code to free software projects like Kopete, Gaim or Adium: they use an open standard (XMPP) and they should have all interests to increase their user base.  My quest for a free software alternative to Skype continues.

    Hi,

    The project has been passed on to Vadim Lebedev of MBDSys, who has worked on the software from the start, and development is going quite quickly at the moment: http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2008/02/05/openwengo-not-in-limbo/

    Dave.
