I just thought about a notifier that informs you what contact comes online / changes its status message / goes offline or whatever like we know it from almost every messenger on a PC.
It could be the same notification style like sms or email.
That's just a little brainstorm and I want to know if someone else likes this idea.
Yeah like buddy pounce? Good idea but I think if it is implemented for all contacts, we will be flooded with notifications. So maybe, we can choose buddy pounce for contacts that we need only.
That's a great idea! i have it in my mind for long time, thinking about post a brainstorm!
I dont think you will be flooded with notifications, think about Windows Messenger, XYZ contact gets online/offline and thats it all.
http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#...ication_dialog for notifications, a C equivalent of the code is welcome, I need it for something :P
Empathy (based on Telepahty) notifies about online/offline contacts, so I guess telepathy sends dbus signals when a user goes online/offline, so it should be doable with a daemon.
I'll take a look at this. If it's possible I could make a python script that could work (you'll receive notifications on signon/signoff) and that could be a starting point for you to maybe develop a daemon in C/C++.
