In the Telepathy stack there are a lot of components, so often it gets very confusing for people hearing about it for the first time. So, here’s a very basic breakdown:
- Telepathy
- A framework for doing IM and VOIP. Supports Jabber/GTalk, SIP, IRC, MSN, ICQ,… (not all of those support VOIP at the moment). It has no UI and the end user doesn’t really need to be concerned about it.
- Empathy
- A IM/VOIP client for GNOME that is using the Telepathy framework.
- Farsight
- An extension to GStreamer that supports VOIP. (Farsight devs, mea culpa for this dumbing down so much). Farsight is used by Telepathy for actually moving around audio and video in calls.
That’s it. Easy, no? :-)
