Description Brian J. Murrell 2009-03-20 19:12:53 UTC 
Well, that's what pidgin calls it anyway.

The idea is to set up actions to do when a buddy comes on-line.  Actions could be pop-up a message, open a new message to him/her, send a message.

This feature is also used in pidgin to effect "off-line" messaging for protocols that don't allow that.  i.e. if I message bob and he's not online, it's saved as a "when buddy comes online" buddy pounce.

"Pro": please limit yourself to comments that add something to the discussion; thanks.

In the absence of a voting system for RFEs I'm not sure Pro's comment was entirely useless.  It does give indication of how popular a particular RFE is amongst the user-base and if somebody is just looking for something to work on and doesn't really care what it is he works on why not choose the most popular RFE?
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-08-28 12:28:15 UTC 
This kind of things shouldn't be part of Empathy. It could MAYBE be done as a plugin but as Empathy doesn't have any plugin system (bug #547208) and there is no plan to add one for now, I'd say this should be a separated application. Now that Empathy uses MC5, I think you should be implement most of the actions in a separated application.
