Hi again,

Another thread to discuss the user interface regarding the Telepathy
integration features.

I propose to focus on the server side for now. The use case is as
follow:
- Alice starts a network game.
- She invites one or more contacts to join her game
- Once everyone has joined the game is started as usual

I think the more natural way to integrate this in the UI would be to
display in the server side network menu a widget listing all the
connected contacts supporting Wormux; then user uses this widget to
choose the contact(s) to whom he wants to send an invitation.

I've done a very simple implementation of this as you can see on
http://people.collabora.co.uk/~cassidy/wormux-tube.ogv

I'd be interested in UI mockups in order to implement this properly.
Requirements are
- Display list of contacts (their alias as it appears in Empathy)
- Maybe display contacts' avatars as well?
- Have a way to send an invitation to the selected contact
- The changes should be optional; so if Wormux is not built with TP
support, these extra widgets don't appear.

It would be good to have a way to display feedback about invitations as
well (cf my previous mail). Maybe we could reuse the chat widget to
display such messages?

Thanks for your suggestions.
