Empathy
Empathy is a messaging program which supports text, voice, and video chat and file transfers over many different protocols. You can tell it about your accounts on all those services and do all your chatting within one application.
Empathy uses Telepathy for protocol support and has a user interface based on Gossip. Empathy is the default chat client in current versions of GNOME, making it easier for other GNOME applications to integrate collaboration functionality using Telepathy.
Current features
Multi-protocol: Google Talk (Jabber/XMPP), MSN, IRC, Salut, AIM, Facebook, Yahoo!, Gadu Gadu, Groupwise, ICQ and QQ. (Supported protocols depend on installed Telepathy Connection Manager components.) Supports all protocols supported by Pidgin.

Style
Empathy's code is currently a mess regarding coding style. Please follow the following policy when contributing:
New files have to be written using the Telepathy coding style
If you are modifying an existing file, you should stay coherent and use the style of the file.
Though if you are making a lot of modifications, it would be good to use the Telepathy coding style and port the rest of the file to this style (record such commits separately)
When you change the coding style of a file, or create a new file, don't forget to set as first line of both.c and.h files:
Telepathy Style:
/* -*- Mode: C; tab-width: 2; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 2; -*- */
Empathy Style:
/* -*- Mode: C; tab-width: 8; indent-tabs-mode: t; c-basic-offset: 8 -*- */
