Telepathy is a **communications service** that can be accessed by many applications ("clients") simultaneously. + +This allows any application to access presence information, request a communications channel (potentially handled by another client), or collaborate contact-to-contact. + +Telepathy provides protocol backends for most popular protocols including: Jabber/XMPP/Jingle, link-local XMPP, SIP, Yahoo/AIM and IRC via a unified [[D-Bus|http://dbus.freedesktop.org]] API. It also provides convenience libraries for GLib and Qt to simplify using the API from applications. + +Telepathy exposes the available real-time communications capabilities of each protocol: presence, contact rosters, text chat, voice and video over IP, file transfer and [[Telepathy Tubes|Tubes]]. + + [[!img TelepathyArchitectureOverview.png]] + +Telepathy is **modular**. Each backend and client runs in a separate process, allowing for much greater security and resilience. It is suitable both for embedded and desktop environments. + +# Using Telepathy + +## End users + +Telepathy is a *framework*, therefore it is mainly targetted to developers that want to enable real-time communication and collaboration features in their applications. + +As an end user, you can make use of one of the *Clients* of Telepathy, which are listed in the Clients section of the *[[Components|Components]]* page. + +## Developers + +Take a look at: +* the [Telepathy Developer's Manual](https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/doc/book/) (*slightly outdated*) +* the [[DBus API Spec|DbusSpec]] + +Choose and download a high-level library to use: +* [[Telepathy GLib|Telepathy GLib]] +* [[Telepathy Qt|Telepathy Qt]] + +Check out misc useful information for developers: +* [[Debugging|Debugging]] +* [[Developer Notes|DeveloperNotes]] + +[[Report Bugs|Bugs]] + +This wiki is undergoing [[conversion]].
