The Farsight project is an effort to create a framework to deal with all
known audio/video conferencing protocols. On one side it offers a
generic API that makes it possible to write plugins for different
streaming protocols, on the other side it offers an API for clients to
use those plugins.
The main target clients for Farsight are Instant Messaging applications.
These applications should be able to use Farsight for all their
Audio/Video conferencing needs without having to worry about any of the
lower level streaming and NAT traversal issues.
The Telepathy project aims to provide a unified framework for all forms
of real time conversations, including instant messaging, IRC, voice
calls and video calls. It uses the D-Bus messaging system to provide a
simple interface for client applications, allowing them to quickly
benefit from Telepathy's functionality.

* Add detailed option descriptions to pptp(8) man page.
* Move OpenBSD configuration examples from text file
${PREFIX}/share/doc/pptp/USING into pptp(8) man page,

revise examples while at it.
* Add patch to ${WRKSRC}/util.c to make pptp log normal
informational messages with level LOG_INFO instead of LOG_NOTICE.
* Update pkg/DESCR with a new description based on upstream web site.
* Fix URL to list of pptp security flaws in pkg/MESSAGE.
* [Re-]Create patches with `make update-patches'.
* Add patch to ${WRKSRC}/pptp_gre.c to automatically enable
the net.inet.gre.allow sysctl before trying to bind
the GRE socket.
* Remove '@sysctl net.inet.gre.allow=1' from PLIST.

Galago is a desktop presence framework, designed to transmit presence
information between programs. To put it in simpler terms, it takes
information on who is online and their away/idle states from an instant
messenger (such as gaim) or other similar programs and lets other
programs (such as Ximian's Evolution) to make use of it.
The advantage of such a framework is that it brings your programs closer
together. When you receive an e-mail from a friend who is in your buddy
list, you'll be able to immediately tell their online status, for
example.

pymsn is a rewrite of libivy (http://hybrid.tuxfamily.org/ivy), during
this rewrite the usage of Python asyncore and asynchat were dropped in
favor of the pymsn.gio library based on Glib GIOChannel. This change
enabled easy integration with the Glib main loop.
pymsn also gained msnp2p support for display pictures and custom smileys
as well a Http Polling transport and proxy support.

editor. Most features are implemented via module extensions. For
example, DCC (Direct Client-to-Client) can be enabled at the user's
option.

Validate::Net is a class designed to assist with the validation of
internet related strings. It can be used to validate CGI forms,
internally by modules, and in any place where you want to check that an
internet related string is valid before handing it off to Net::*
modules.
