Indeed, the invitation model both makes sense and at the same time makes the launch a user action instead. That absolutely needs to be the way we handle this. It was asked how we might represent the activity in the UI. For starters, I would say that it would be to our benefit to come up with a service (or a part of the presence service) which can generically determine the activity (or activities) capably of handling an incoming request. There might be a couple of chat activities. We might have a distinct video or audio chat activity. In the future, we might have non-XO applications which can collaborate with XO activities as well. That's expanding the scope, but all this to say that ideally we'd have a way to suggest the appropriate activity icon(s) that can handle the incoming invitation. As far as colors go, one interesting option is to try to derive the colors of the sender based on the fact that most IM clients support a color pair (background, text) already. Pulling this off would be really slick. Short of that, I'd suggest simply choosing the receiver's XO color instead, as though they had initiated the conversation themselves, assuming we can't get such info from the sender. - Eben _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
