Future of Telepathy

[David Alston]

Greetings!

     I've really enjoyed the product the Telepathy project has given us.
Thank you so much to all the developers who contributed!  I've been so
spoiled having my IM client built into my desktop :^)

     I do hope that the fresh developers you're calling for are able to
join in.  It's one of my favorite features to point out to people who ask
what is so great about having a linux desktop :^)
