This has probably been lying around for so long, because of design conflicts with how the Ayatana subsystem is currently wired. * Presence has no local effect * Presence has no effect on Skype (except with Pidgin running) -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-me/+bug/684678 * System Sounds are not connected with notifications (perhaps with Dylan's patch?) -> Dylan, what's the status/bug ;) ? I decided to focus on these issues first, to think my way through these problems, before i plot yet another meaningless feature. Busy aka DoNotDisturb has been around for as long as i know Presence in IM, now is the time to implement it for the local system. I would like to discuss the above problems in order to get some opinions, before i am confident that i can draft a simple spec for "Silent Mode" aka "Do Not Disturb" aka Presence="Busy". OTOH, if the ideas we have produced in recent threads suffice in your eyes, i'd gladly sum them up and formalize them in a Spec draft! other issues in the same domain: * Invisible doesn't really work - it jumps to busy always * the Session Menu is on the wrong side of the panel (imo)
