But they are different. To take Kopete, for instance, there are Contacts, Sub-contacts and Meta-contacts. A Contact is a name entry, which may have multiple Sub-contacts within it to represent each of that person's accounts on different networks (or multiple accounts on the same network). A Meta-contact is an entry in Kaddressbook that you associate the Contact with. In other words, Contacts and Sub-contacts are known only to Kopete, but Meta-contacts are KDE-wide (i.e. Kaddressbook entries). To complicate matters, entries in Kaddressbook are known as Contacts instead of Meta-contacts. Hardly consistent :( I don't know how the GNOME/GTK+ applications integrate in this department, but these are the kinds of considerations that we need to make before altering any terminology. -- Tired of slowness, bugs, crashes, viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, malware... ?
