Hi.

There is currently a discussion on the xmpp standard mailinglist about 
metacontact.

Someone came with a complex specification to store metacontact link 
serverside.

And another guy came with a very simple idea : two contact that are in the 
same group and have the same name are in the same metacontact.
The name here is the name attribute of the jabber roster, which in kopete 
terms is the custom display name

Personally, I like that idea.

That mean we could not have anymore two metacontact with the same name in the 
same group without them to be merged.
Does anyone has an objection to this?

I doubd that many people have the case of several meta contact with the same 
display name on the same group. (In fact i have, for all my 4 contacts with 3 
subcontact each, representing myself in another account,  but i would change 
their name ;-p)


(In case you wonder, by default, there is no custom displayname. the nickname 
is displayed instead but would not be taken in account for metacontact 
merging. That mean that two guys with the name nick would not be in the same 
metacontact)
