A bit like the "stalker" plasmoid but better as you can have as many as you want. This way it wouldn't be a copy of Martin's contact list (which is activated via the presence plasmoid) but a personalized "container" for contacts you usually contact and/or want to talk to. Come on, who chats with ALL their contacts in the contact list? With facebook chat, gtalk we all have > 100 contacts and finding that usual contact to chat to would be made easier if in a seperate customizable container. I talk to about 10-15 people periodically and not that often to others outside this group. Plus I doubt everyone is best friends with *everyone* on their chat list. (This was the extra part of my 2011 GSoC project that I didn't manage to make) So that's my 2cents for the contactlist plasmoid > Please comment and include your own ideas and suggestions. > _______________________________________________ > KDE-Telepathy mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy _______________________________________________ KDE-Telepathy mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy
