Comment 135 for bug 296867

This bug and the zRTP one are crucial for privacy and security reasons yet they are already 3.5 and 2.5 years old, respectively. Would it be possible to go crowdfunding or something similar in order to speed up the addition of OTR and zRTP to telepathy and empathy? It would be great to have out of the box encrypted chat/voip/video on Ubuntu, specially when the Ubuntu phone comes.
