Although I am no Kopete developer I have been been following it's progress for 
quite some time and I am actively using it for the same time now so this is a 
users perspective.
When I first tried it it was pretty unusable but now it really is my favorite 
IM but I am using SVN for a looong time already.

The point is that if I suggest Kopete to other people that I have converted to 
Linux they complain that their Kopete is "different".
Because most of the features I love in Kopete are simply not in other 
distributions because I won't tell a newbie to use Gentoo for sure, they just 
want to use their system.

So why we can't just kick out Kopete out of the offical KDE release? All the 
distros will pack it anyway because they know that Kopete is THE messenger 
for KDE.
Would it be so difficult to point all the major distros to the newer branch 
and to include this one as the standard kopete? I guess some distros are 
doing that already because the 0.12 branch is more stable and has more 
features. I think the advantage of open source is that it's quite dynamic.

It's still a long time until KDE4 is ready AND when it's ready it doesn't mean 
it will be instantly used by all the distros.
