Nice quote by Paul Kishimoto on the related bug on GNOME bugzilla: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the following have all been mentioned: People (0.0.6 release two years old, https://launchpad.net/people-core) Soylent (no commits for 20+ months, http://git.gnome.org/browse/soylent) Galago (unmaintained, per comment #19) EDS-feed (unmaintained, per comment #19) EDS-sync (apparently no releases in 2+ years? http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/eds/trunk/eds-sync/ChangeLog) GNOME Online Desktop (apparently not actively developed) ...unless there is better evidence that these are or will become usable, that leaves: * No outside library to wait on, * One developer who thinks "metacontacts like in pidgin" are "stupid", and * 50+ others (including https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392507 & duplicates) who want such "stupid" metacontacts. I would grant that, *if* any of the above projects actually was usable, they would be a better solution than Pidgin-style contact grouping. No one has explained how contact grouping is worse than no contact grouping. -- Support contact grouping (metacontacts) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256478 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
