Description Guillaume Desmottes 2009-04-20 14:16:52 UTC 
A prerequisite for moving EmpathyContactSelector to the future telepathy-gtk is to change its API to a TpContact based instead of a EmpathyContact one.
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2009-04-20 14:21:46 UTC 
We are not going to drop EmpathyContact anyway. We need an abstraction for at least meta contacts. This is a dup of bug #577427

Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-04-20 14:39:58 UTC 
Meta contacts are not going to be implemented soon. We shouldn't block on this. I prefer to have a TpContact oriented widget/API now and a meta-contact later than having to wait an unknown amount time because we are blocked on meta-contacts.

This bug is not a dup of bug 577427 as the current tp-contact branch still use TpContact. It could depend on it though so applications could easily get an EmpathyContact from the TpContact if needed.
