1 The Telepathy project is building a unified framework for many
2 different kinds of real-time communications. It uses the D-Bus
3 messaging system to provide a simple interface for client applications,
4 allowing them to quickly take advantage of Telepathy's benefits.
6 * Real-time: Telepathy supports instant messaging (both one-to-one
7 and in groups), voice calls and video calls; it's less suited for
8 store-and-forward applications like email
10 * Unified: Many different programs can take advantage of these
11 communications; Telepathy lets these programs work together
13 * Framework: Telepathy allows the different aspects of communication
14 handling to be divided between different parts of the system,
15 meaning each part is simpler
