I don't see how it could be usefull to have a name from the
metacontact
"group".
I think it could be useful in some scenarios.
Example:
[email protected] - "Contact - Company"
[email protected] - "Contact - GTalk"
[email protected] - "Contact - ICQ"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Metacontact - "Contact"
Rationale: every sub-contact can have some
explanation/specification/location specified in name
Perhaps it would not be very useful for most people, I don't know. I
personally would use it in this way.
And in your roster you see "Contact"? So dou don't know to which jid
you'll talk when you'll open a chat window. but if you show the name
of the highest priority resource, you'll see "Contact - Company" in
yout roster and you'll know to which jid you'll talk.
Is it importnat to know? I know that I want to talk to Yann, I don't
really care how. It is Yann clients responsibility to have the
priorities straight between them so that my messages arrive to the
proper place.
We can argue that the single priority field is not enough for this,
specially if you have VoIP and SMS in your clients (the best resource
for chat is not necessarily the best resource for VoIP), but the
solution for "how-to organize several contacts for the same person"
need not be the solution to "which resource is the best to start a
conversation using {chat,voip,sms,ft,other}".
At least, that is our experience.
