I am serious, but we simply disagree. That's not really a problem
though -- as long as everyone can make his free choice:

user: which server's msn transport will I use
admin: how will I configure / patch PyMSNt

cvs is old, june was a long time ago.

Were are you getting your psi builds from?  You might want to use
test2, it's very new. Alternativly use a darcs build, because that's
what Psi have swapped to.

This matter could easily be fixed by adding the nickname back to the
registration form, and making it so that if the user enters a blank
string, then the nickname is read from the vcard.  That way the _user_
can _choose_ when they register which mode they want.

There is a misunderstanding: I was solely talking about how the nickname
of MSN users will be displayed to a Jabber user.

Frankly, I couldn't care less how other MSN users see my nickname /
personal message -- so I don't have any opinions on this one and PyMSNt
should do what it wants. Heck, for all I care it says "this user uses
PyMSNt, go use Jabber now you moron". :P

sorry I did misread that.

Unfortunately I'm not on your side on this one.  It's up to jabber
clients to make it possible to show the nickname in the roster.  This
is _not_ up to the transport to decide.

If you want to hack anything, hack your jabber client to show both
your preferred name for the contact, and the vcard's nickname (or
override the name with the nick).

Remember you're getting vcard-temp:x:update for free in the presence
stanza's from the msn transport, so you don't even have to do a vcard
request.

you say *your* jabber client, but I want *all* jabber clients to work.
So it's hacking an x number of clients vs. hacking pymsnt (where x is
quite large I believe).

I know little about the internals of the XMPP protocol, so forgive this
question: aren't Status Message updates sent in the presence stanza for
free just as much?

ugly hacks is not the way PyMSNt should choose.

I wonder what will happen to desired nickname when vcard-temp gets
away. Andreas, Norman, can we please start a new thread in JIGs about
that? (on how jabber should broadcaste desired nickname outside of
vcard-temp which is TEMP?) and leave this ML for strictly py-family?

Thanks in advance

Ironically I am getting my builds from:
http://norman.rasmussen.co.za/dl/psi/

Hmmmmmmm I want MUC support which the latest build is the June CVS build,
as per the other CVS build, its running fine and I am really to lazy
to bother to install it, since
I almost never use it now a days.
