Description Norbert Tretkowski 2007-06-01 19:51:17 UTC 
This bug was submitted from a user of the Debian package of Gossip 0.24 (see http://bugs.debian.org/427054), I was able to reproduce it with 0.26:

I get this warning:
/home/johannes/.gnome2/Gossip/contacts.xml:0: error : unterminated entity
reference             Xxx

when I have a contact named "Abc & Xxx"

Gossip development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few years now. You may use 'empathy' for similar functionality.

Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
