Hey,

As was said in the main thread already, KDE Telepathy doe= s not try to be
swiss army knife and doitall, we also don't w= ant to copy all features of Kopete
(what would be the point of th= at :) We also prefer to keep the amount of options
to be as minim= al as possible.

I c= ould be wrong, but I think this discussion started with the idea of retirin= g Kopete completely, in which case it would be nice to have KDE Telepathy b= e as close as to matching Kopete's features as is reasonable.

As far as keeping the number of options minimal, my issue with tha= t is that the reason I like KDE so much more than other desktops is that it= 's configurable.

These^ all fall into the category of what I wrote above. Maybe the las= t one
could be done, if someones finds the time (manpower is scar= ce).

The reason I like manual sorting of groups is th= at it lets me put my Google contacts at the top of the list and my Facebook= contacts at the bottom. Maybe I'm the only person that wants to do tha= t, so I assume I can fake it with putting underscores at the beginning of t= he names.

If the time to learn the code isn't too bad= , I'd be happy to try to help implement stuff. I haven't done much = C++ since college, and I've never really done anything with Qt or KDE, = but if it's worth the trouble I'm sure I'd cause, I can give it= a shot.

Yes, well, ther= e should be blinking taskbar entry, no reason to blink at two places

Yeah, I know, but for some weird reason= I always found the spinning Kopete icon easier to notice than the blinking= taskbar entry. I can keep dreaming, though, right?
