# telega.el and the Emacs community on Telegram
Gabriele Bozzola and Evgeny Zajcev
[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/telega-schedule)" raw="yes"]]
Telegram is a cross-platform instant messaging system. The large number of
features and the widespread adoption make it a good choice for both private
conversations with friends and for large online communities. In this talk, I
am going to present the Emacs community on Telegram and its initiatives. I
am also going to discuss telega.el, the Emacs client for Telegram. telega.el
is a high-quality package that perfectly integrates in Emacs. It supports
the vast majority of the features supported by the official clients, while
adding several unique ones. In the talk, I will present the package and
highlight some of the most important features.
# Discussion
- Q1: Do any of these main emacs telegram groups bridge to matrix?
- A: [Speaker] We discussed adding a bridge to matrix for the
main channel @emacs_en. We never got around to doing it, but I
can bring this up again.
- Q2: Could telega.el auto install TDLib like lsp-mode auto installs
servers?
- A: [Speaker] Possibly. The difference is that TDLib requires a
number of dependencies that might not be available. Evgeny chose
another route to simplify setting up telega.el: the package can now
be installed with a Dockerfile that also ships with also the
optional dependencies. This ensures that everything works as
intended.
- Does telega still require company for completion?
- Telegram has become a real (and desired) option to WhatsApp, thanks to telega.el
