Bombus (software)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I have not been able to locate any reliable, independent verification for this software. Just download sites, etc. Therefore probably does not pass WP:Notability guidelines. Marasmusine (talk) 11:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm recently added links to XSF and ohloh.net project page. This opensource software mainly used in Russia since 2005, so references mainly in russian. Some other links to independed reviews are located at offsite, including German and Italian articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.132.146.125 (talk) 14:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links, I'll have a closer look at some later, although the handful I checked were either unreliably published or trivial mentions. Marasmusine (talk) 17:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked through the articles in the list linked to above - it's indiscriminate as to reliability (Livejournal?!) and a lot of the links are broken, but the following seem to be the most promising. I'm not familiar with the sites, so I would like further opinions on their reliability and significance. Marasmusine (talk) 11:54, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Computerra.ru "Mobile Jabber-Client"
- Mobi.ru "Страница не найдена"
- f1cd.ru - Interview with Eugene Stakhov
- ComputerBild.ru "Instant messaging - from a mobile phone"

As I'm from Russian, I can say that computerra and "f1cd" are large informational resources about IT/software. Links that you give are "electronic version" of articles published in "paper" magazines, that this resources was published. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.132.146.252 (talk) 14:37, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
