Day four. People had bad dreams last night due to the huge amount of cheese ingested. Will need to seek counselling. Travis' knee doesn't hurt too much anymore.
Today we discussed the interaction of the “presence chooser” in the Shell's user menu with IM statuses, especially given that we soon hope to make it possible to answer chats without launching an “empathy” binary. A number of options were discussed, and the best one now lives in a bug. (Note that both reports are incredibly detailed, thanks to Will Thompson's amazing screenwriting skills).
Morten then presented his current plan for integration of contacts within the Shell. More details are available on the wiki, and most of the problems and potential solutions were discussed at a high-rate, given the well-known problem space.
We missed out on some interesting changes to account creation (as well as edition) in Empathy/Telepathy yesterday.
"Should in-progress calls be tied to the shell, or should they continue to be a window you can move around?"
ReplyDeletePerhaps chats/call should be dockable and undockable in the shell. The current format with Empathy where there is both a docked chat window and an undocked floating window is very confusing. Either style but not both at the same time for the same chat.
