Back in January 2011 I wrote a GNOME-Shell extension allowing Gajim users to carry on with their chats using the Empathy infrastructure and UI present in the Shell. For some time the extension was also part of the official gnome-shell-extensions module and then I had to move it to Github as a standalone extension. Sadly I stopped using Gajim a few years ago and my interest in maintaining this extension has decreased quite a lot.
I don’t know if this extension is actively used by anyone beyond the few bugs reported in Github, so this is a call for help. If anyone still uses this extension and wants it supported in future versions of GNOME-Shell, please send me a mail so I can transfer ownership of the Github repository and see what I can do for the extensions.gnome.org page as well.
(Huh, also. Hi blogosphere again! My last post was in 2014 it seems :))
