Subject: A few suggestions
Hello. As this is my first post on this forum i'd like first to say thanks to Psi developers 
So, thank you, developers, for this definitely one of the best Jabber clients around (and the one i found most useable for myself).
And now what i've mostly registered for, a few FR/suggestions for Psi. I've looked for anything about those in options and wiki tips but found nothing, so decied to write here..
1) A correct XEP-0092 (Software Version) implemenation.
To make clear what i mean i'd cite the XEP-0092 itself:
As of now i see Psi always filling and sending out the <os/> (operating system information) thing and an option to turn that off is nowhere to be found :-\ And that's very easy to implement - just one more option and one more check in the code... That'd give users a bit more privacy and Psi become a bit more standard compilant
2) A "Quote" button in the chat window.
Well, some lil button that would cause a quotation of contact's last message text preceeded with ">" to the input box or same of the selected with mouse part of chat if one was. One found in many other IM software, and just like quoting in mailing lists. That's a killer feature very useful to pin-point something in a dialogue..
3) Nickname "addressing" in MUC.
It's like when you click on a nickname inside of multi-user chat window chat then that nickname completed with ": " gets copied to your input box so you can type fast the message which then would look like addressed to person with that nickname e.g. "[16:06:06] <mynick> somenick: this's teh msg for ya". Sometimes useful, at least because there are some other popular Jabber clients with this feature and when you get to a conference where that's used much it becomes a bloody hell copypasting nicknames without one :-D
That's it. Thanks for attention. Wbr,

To make clear what i mean i'd cite the XEP-0092 itself:
The following children of the <query/> are allowed in an IQ result:
* <name/> -- The natural-language name of the software. This element is REQUIRED in a result.
* <version/> -- The specific version of the software. This element is REQUIRED in a result.
* <os/> -- The operating system of the queried entity. This element is OPTIONAL in a result (see also the Security Considerations).
5. Security Considerations
Revealing the application's underlying operating system may open the user or system to attacks directed against that operating system; therefore, an application MUST provide a way for a human user or administrator to disable sharing of information about the operating system.

I was talking about IM, the voice thing was just so to say. Try to imagine some more complex conversation over IM. When your contact types fast, lots of lines, maybe even copypastes some text pieces to IM.
...if you are not talking only about dinners and such of course
