I haven't done a lot of work theses lasts months on telepathy-butterfly and papyon but Jonny Lamb and Louis-Francis Ratté-Boulianne did some greats progress and are maintaining them well.
Papyon is now it's own project, hosted on the Freedesktop.org infrastructure, the git repository has moved and it gained a mailing list in the process (actually two if you count the bugs ml). I hope this move will encourage more people to contribute to and use papyon.
On the novelties front, notably Jonny Lamb has implemented HTTP and proxy support in Butterfly, proxy detection require python-libproxy (as a run time dependency)
The great news is that Louis Francis implemented P2Pv2 support in papyon. This big preliminary works allowed him to implement MPOP which mean you can now connect from multiple computers at the same time. This also permitted to re-enable video-conferencing support in Butterfly ! He also merged and improved the long-awaited File Transfer branch.
Theses new shiny features are in the new papyon 0.5.0 release used with the latest telepathy-butterfly 0.5.13. These releases also contain your usual load of bug fixes and random improvements. Check them out.
Vim-fr.org, your friendly French-speaking Vim community has gained a mailing-list. Don't hesitate to ask questions on it ! (in French obviously) You can also say hi or idle around in our IRC channel #vim-fr on Freenode or our Jabber MUC #vim-fr on chat.jabberfr.org.
I'm no longer working at Collabora, working there was fantastic, especially the people there who are really great, I'm wishing them well and hope we will be able to met again some time around a good beer.
