Does anybody know why the link to the windows binary has been nonfunctional for close on 6 months now? There's a wiki page with links, but the icon on the [ekiga.org] frontpage points to nothing. Who paid the author to remove the link? Who vandalised the page? Interesting questions to ponder... as it's virtually impossible to find a decent free voip application for Windows on the web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.210.157.188 ( talk) 15:53, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm going to remove the distracting boilerplate messages at the top of the article. There can be no reasonable doubt that this is a major piece of software for the Linux/GNOME world. If nothing else, 15 interwikis speak a clear enough language. Secondly, regarding the sources - it's common practice on Wikipedia to use the official sites of software projects as the primary reference. Mentions and reviews on other sites abound on the internet (just google), but I see no reason why we should single any of them out and put them in the article. Of course, further references would be nice to have, but they're by no means a must. Jimmy Fleischer ( talk) 21:53, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
The notability template makes no sense at all. Hint, try googling Ekiga, you'll get 460,000 hits. 88.195.119.17 ( talk) 20:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
I just added external links to the Ubuntu community documentation (a well-monitored and visited wiki) on Ekiga as well as a 2007 review of it from Linux.com. I also cited the fact that Ekiga comes default with the most recent ubuntu distributions to the community documentation. Considering Ubuntu's popularity and the credibility of Linux.com, I think these additional references should be enough to satisfy the notability guidelines and take down the tag. mcs ( talk) 08:07, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
This article needs a better features section, and perhaps a limitations section. I was reading the article for information, and it lacks even basic information on
I'm aware that these questions would be answered in the official wiki, but most of them are basic information that should be mentioned in the article.
I have read the discussion, and from my perspective, I don't understand the reason for such ad hominem attacks as
'Thanks for your help. I've taken down the warning, but probably ErnestVoice is going to put it back in his or her usual Pavlovian manner.'
and
...you've already proven beyond doubt you're a fetishist about the letter of the rules...
For a very routine discussion of notability, I think this is very far from 'way more politely than you had any right to expect'. Centrepull ( talk) 06:09, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
