Untitled[edit]

I think we need all in all a more polished history, data as well as looking --TuX 17:19, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

roadmap[edit]

What is a roadmap for software doing in ENCYCLOPEDIA ???? You guys are nuts...

name?[edit]

The name is really weird. I have no idea where it comes from. How about mentioning where the name comes from?

Already done.--Chealer 08:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Copete means drink? Surely that should be copita. --61.69.207.187 06:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How is it pronounced? "ko pee tee" or "ko peet" Felipe1982 18:58, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is probably a Slang from [Chile]. From the 'Official Spanish Dictionary' [1|http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=copete] copete is the foamy part on top of some drinks. It is pronounced (in spanish) ko-pe-te (the e like in Dr. Dre) PuercoPop (talk) 18:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There used to be an audio sample in the FAQ, but the file seems to be gone. Here is an archived copy: kopete_en.ogg — Leen 94.212.249.212 (talk) 12:06, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted addition of plugin descriptions[edit]

I reverted this addition of plugin descriptions by User:61.68.182.27 due to to the POV tone introduced. Most descriptions refer to "your" or "you". I'm sorry to remove this information, but I think it's better than to lose the NPOV tone. Please reword it. --Chealer 08:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SMS? How do I get it?[edit]

I'm a user of KDE, and love Kopete. However, how do I get SMS with it? I'd love to integrate that with my use of other messaging, since my phone has a very awkward interface. Does anyone know where I can find the SMS plugin? --T3thys::ben 00:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

Should the whole history be here — is it really of interest to many people reading this article? Probably it should be on a kopete website (if an up-to-date one exists). I am not involved in the kopete project and put the back here to save the contents of the Kopete_Project_history from deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Diggory Hardy (talk • contribs) 08:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OS Unix-like/Windows[edit]

Is someone bullshitting? I see no information on a Windows version on the official website. 90.16.118.139 (talk) 15:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither, and here it says as well Kopete doesn't support Windows Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients#Operating_system_support Cattleyard (talk) 15:16, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there is no Windows version of Kopete but a KDE installation which allows you to run Kopte on Windows with the help of KDE, see [1] Cattleyard (talk) 11:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kopete is part of KDE SC 4 (more specifically: the kdenetwork module[2]). The whole SC4 available for multiple platforms, including FreeBSD, Mac OS X [3][4], and Windows.
So instead of claiming that Kopete is Linux-only, you people (esp. Vlyalcin who did [5]) need to learn to do a proper research. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 00:51, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I dont bet anything. I didnt understand why you needed to specify me. I just wanted to be sure for about cross platform. Becouse I translated this content to Turkish. I read this discussion page before also. I thought this link is unoffical way to install KDE apps to Windows. Anyway, thank you for informations. Vlyalcin (talk) 14:07, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I needed to pick you because you did the recent edit without even looking at KDE SC 4 which clearly states without any doubt that the applications are available for multiple platforms. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 04:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to learn how to speak properly to the persons first. Vlyalcin

Project history section[edit]

I removed the entire section "Project history". It is written as if it was taken straight out of the developer's logs. The writing style was very poor, probably because the section was pieced together. Also, I highly doubt anyone was really interested in the project's history in the manner given. The usage of "we" in the section was basically proof that one of the developers pasted the section in themselves. Ronark (talk) 03:04, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
