Re: [Ekiga-list] What is 'ekiga's internal roster'?
All, FWIW, we use the term roster in XMPP to refer to a contact list. That's for that very reason it's named like that in ekiga ;-) FYI, roster has a specific meaning in English. It is a list that is rotated. So you put up a roster to operate a school canteen for example. Couple one does it on Monday couple two does it on tuesday etc. May I suggest that copying somebodies bad use of a word does not make it correct.

I have to add my agreement. XMPP and Ekiga have added a new definition for the word roster that didn't previously exist. One would have to have used XMPP and/or Ekiga, and done some research, in order to understand what they mean by roster. It's an inappropriate choice of word.

[Ekiga-list] What is 'ekiga's internal roster'?
Hi all. Isn't 3.x great?! The contacts handling is much improved, but there's this odd thing... When I am in the 'Contacts' tab I can add a contact to 'ekiga's internal roster'. I have English as my first language and can't make sense of what a roster is in that context. Here are the first four hits from google for 'define:roster' # roll: a list of names; his name was struck off the rolls wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn # A roster can be a list of people and the times when they are required to work. See schedule (workplace). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roster # A list of names, usually for an organisation of some kind such as military officers and enlisted personnel enrolled in a particular unit; a muster ... en.wiktionary.org/wiki/roster # A list of all players on a particular fantasy football team. football.about.com/od/fantasyfootball/a/fantasyglossary.htm This all sounds like something different from a list of people and their contact details. I suggest a change to the wording. Why isn't it just ekiga's internal 'contact list'? Please let me know if I should file this as an RFE.
