Re: [Sugar-devel] [FEATURE] Remove Presence Service

I don't have enough time for a very detailed review and I don't really know telepathy, but here a few comments. Mostly nitpicks, it looks great in general. +BuddyIcon.__init__(self, buddy=get_owner_instance(), size=size) Maybe assign to self._buddy here and reuse later to pass to the
