Yes, there is an ordering of contacts per metacontact, you have to be able to group contacts belonging to different accounts, ... There is also the issue of where to store the contact grouping information: local only, somewhere on server, if you do it remotely, on what account do you put it, and how, ...Quote by machekku:In a good implementation of metacontacts, you rarely have to "open" the folder. The metacontact is represented as single contact, it has one icon (and client has to determine which one to use), you click it to start chatting (and client has to determine which real contact to use), etc, etc. So it's smarter than a folder.
Such redundancy always brings possible conflicts with it, which means you need to resolve them, which means that some user somewhere in the 'verse will be annoyed by the way the resolving is done.Quote by halr9000 on 01-19-2006, 08:33:Remko, why not store the data on all jabber accounts? You just ask for x: private on all logged in accounts and only use one result. But if you can't login to one of them for whatever reason--you'll still have the data, and no matter where you login from you'll still have it.
