Thanks for bringing the thread to the kde list.

Concretely, I see 2 low-hanging fruit to seriously consider:

* drop kde telepathy stuff from the spin.  It's largely deprecated and
unmaintained (almost got dropped from kde-apps at prior maintainer's
request).  No replacement (we have kopete, but it's still kde4-based, so
meh).


Yeah, pretty much agree with you and Harald.  I never could get it to work.  In case
anyone is interested, Telegram has a very good Qt based native client available from their
website.  It's GPLv3.  I've been using it for a few years now. 
 

* drop one of the extra non-default browsers (*): qupzilla (soon to be
renamed), konqueror.  of that list, konqueror is likely the least useful to
most users.

p.s.  (*) and if folks want to re-open the can-of-worms default browser
topic again, please do so in a separate thread.  My take per the last time
it was discussed is that we can't act on that until qupzilla is renamed.

Might as well wait for Falkon to be available and deal with Konqueror and the default
issue at the same time.
