Comunicating from your Linux machine?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello Jude and list,

Telling "I'm not certain sending functions work yet", "may not have been
buikt the last time" or "Other distributions may have better compiled
versions of telegram-cli available" don't help to find issues in the
package, if any."

What I need is actual testing by users, stating what works and what
doesn't after having actually tried.

So please try the sending functions and report your findings, whatever
they be. A good report could look like "I did this, excpected  result A,
got result B."

I never used myself telegram, so I have to rely on end users to file
bugs in a way then allow to find what's wrong, case occurring.

I am also eager of feedback on any other package shipped in Slint.

Best regards

Didier
