 	 <para>
-	  GNOME's email and groupware suite, <application>Evolution</application>,
-		has gained two important features for helping users who are migrating to
-		GNOME from Microsoft Windows environments.
-	 </para>
+	  GNOME's instant messaging and communication applicaiton, <application>Empathy</application>,
+	  based off the Telepathy communications framework,has gained a number of new and important features 
+	  for helping users communicate.</para>
 
 	 <para>
-	  First is the ability to import Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders (PST
-		files) directly in Evolution. Email, contacts, appointments, tasks and
-		journal entries are supported. Previously, the files had to be imported
-		via a third-party utility, such as Thunderbird on Windows.

+	  The Contact List has been improved in a number of ways.  You can set your status 
+	  directly by entering it as text, or set it from a previously set status.  Re-organizing
+	  your contacts has been made easier as dragging and dropping a contact will move it, instead
+	  of copying it.  A View menu is now included, giving you quick access to sorting contacts,
+	  viewing offline contacts and changing your contact lists size preferences.  
+	  </para>
 	 
 	 <para>
-	  Second is support for Microsoft Exchange's MAPI protocol. This is the
-		protocol that Microsoft Outlook uses to communicate with Exchange.
-		Previously, Evolution only supported Exchange's SOAP protocol, which is
-		not available on all Exchange servers. This support significantly
-		improves Evolution's integration with Exchange servers.
+	  The Conversaton dialog now supports a number of new themes, including Adium message styles.
+	  Other improvements include users in the user list now have a tooltip; 
+	  the user list in chat rooms can be hidden; the Contact menu has been removed
+	  from the Conversation menu; and if your name is mentioned 
+	  in a chat room or conversation, that tab's text will become red.
 	 </para>
+	#
+
+More message styles with the support for Adium message styles. See http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Themes for tested themes.
+# You can now hide the user list in chat rooms. It can be set as a default in the preferences too.
+# The users in the user list now have a tooltip.
+# If your name is mentioned in a chat room, the tab's text will become red.
+# Contact menu is no more under the Conversation menu
