Otherwise, people tend to see they aren't able to connect to anything because they forgot to enable their desired USE flags I would enable, at least, jabber and irc (that are common). Any thoughts?
Hi Gentoo/Gnome team, The 3.8 release is awesome on Gentoo and I'm really looking forward to 3.10. I brought this to Pacho's attention today (thanks for filing ticket, Pacho!). You can consider it sort of a neo-newbie experience for me, as I've not run Gnome/KDE or linux for a couple of years. Just re-transitioned back from OSX. So, the first thing that I loved about gnome was the addition of gnome's offline accounts, allowing to connect with both the googles and the face-books. Evo and the documents thing worked out nicely and saw all my google stuffs. Empathy only offers me the chance to connect to "Friends nearby". I'm not even sure what that means, as it is not very intuitive (the settings or the description). I'd argue that enabling the online accounts USE flag should set a minimum set of flags (e.g. google and facebook, and perhaps IRC, since Gentoo support relies heavily on it). Thanks for listening, if you got through this big wall of text. Cheers, Seemant
