Current history plugin will list all contacts of group chat session. First contact is used as id of storage. This works good for room chats because IRC and jabber plugins make sure that first contact in (group) chat session is name of room (irc channel or jabber MUC). But it does not work for Skype (where is just unordered list of contacts in group chat). I would propose this solution: Group chat message should have: * sender of message * (unique) identifier for current group chat * human readable description of group chat * subject/topic For IRC, Jabber (and similar protocols) identifier should be just name of room. It could work. Also name of room can be used as human description. For Skype and other protocols where is known just list of contacts identifier could be some (random) string/number... I think that Skype uses some string hash for different multi user chats, so it can be used it. For human readable description just use subject/topic or list of contacts in group chat. Sounds good? Or did I something miss? -- Pali Rohár pali.ro...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list kopete-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
