Amazing!

I think so, my intent for those pages was to guide users on the common
problems that could arise with video and audio call.
Maybe we would need something more, but we need to collect information
and data first, and then organize the content.

There is not enough time to do all of that for the 2.30.1, so we
definitely need to target 3.0.

Speaking of 3.0 and about new features that will land in Empathy, do
you have any suggestions in order for us to keep track of those new
features? Sometimes it is quite hard to know exactly what it's going
on unless you play hard with the software, or follow the git commit
log... Do you think an open bug at the beginning of the cycle with a
request to write something each time a new feature has been inserted
would be useful? I know this kind of things can quite get into the
devs way, but maybe we can find a common ground and "technology" to
ease all our lives.

Agreed. Subscribe to the bug and will start discussing there ASAP.

Thank you so much.

Ciao.
