@Everyone

I understand what you mean Rinigus: Telepathy would integrate much better and requires 'less' effort to develop the backend due the integration with the OS.

As MartinK pointed out: Waiting for Jolla is going to harm this project that's why I want to take the Python/QML approach. The UI is already written for messaging and contacts (it's a shared component between Transponder and Sailfinder).

I want to integrate the Matrix client into Transponder, the first release of Transponder will only support Matrix, for the next versions I plan Telegram and other providers. Matriski will be deprecated as soon as Transponder with Matrix hits stable.

The beauty of the Python plugin system is that other people easily can add new backends to Transponder. Only a bridge file needs to be written as with Otsaloma's Pan Transit app.
