Give them a reason to.
Offer to help code it.
Offer to help host betas.
Offer to promote it.
Tell them you have 25 Linux developer ready and willing to port it to Linux.

Nah, I'd rather use pidgin because its simple and you save space for having less programs.

online petitions never work....or if they have, I've never seen one. Personally, I'd rather see a lot of other things ported to Linux before yahoo messenger..I mean we've got pidgin amongst the countless other clients which support yahoo so you're not that bad off.

Um . . .

HOWTO: Install Yahoo! Messenger for Linux
1. Install libssl0.9.6 through Synaptic or
Quote:
sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.6
2. Download this (http://download.yahoo.com/dl/unix/ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb) file from messenger.yahoo.com.

3. In a terminal, write:
Quote:
sudo dpkg -i /path/ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386.deb
replacing path with the path to where you downloaded the file.

4. Run /usr/bin/ymessenger and follow the few simple instructions for setting up Yahoo! Messenger. An icon will be placed on your desktop.


Better use Gaim. Yahoo! Messenger for Linux is ridiculously old and rudimentary.

What would we get? Crappy animated people saying bye or whatever.

Who should care?

There's Gyachi (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=773802). But it's had some problems connecting lately.

How do you think its yahoo?

[init1]

There is a Linux version, but it's very old and won't install on Debian Etch because the libraries it depends on are so old.

Yahoo Web Messenger (http://webmessenger.yahoo.com/index.php) -- problem solved.

Thats probably the most realistic way to make it happen. Yahoo had a linux version and abandoned it. Providing them an acceptable answer to the question, " What's in it for me?" is the key.

edit: But TBH making Empathy or Kopete or even Pidgin completely compatible is a better answer in my mind.

[jeyaganesh]

Why? Really why? Use Pidgin. Or any of the other alternatives listed.

I Agree for make yahoo messenger for linux

[kikoman]

I accept.

If yahoo ignored us again, then there is google. Yahoo will have the same fate as ICQ in the future.
