Description Guillaume Desmottes 2009-04-20 14:28:40 UTC 
The consensus is to progressively move libempathy-gtk to a future telepathy-gtk.
The EmpathyContactSelector contact chooser seems a good starting point as that's probably the most useful widget for external applications.

The goal of this bug is to track issues blocking the moving of this widget to telepathy-gtk.
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-04-20 14:30:15 UTC 
EmpathyContactSelector's API should use TpContact instead of EmpathyContact (bug 579612)
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-04-20 14:56:21 UTC 
Another blocker is the usage of EmpathyContactList. The best approach is probably to wait for Connection.Interface.Roster and the associated helper code in telepathy-glib.
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-04-20 14:57:48 UTC 
Last remaining beast is EmpathyContactListStore which should be rewritten/refactored to deal with rosters instead of EmpathyContactList.
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-10-21 10:12:50 UTC 
I think gnome-games guys started to implement their own contact selector: maybe it could be used as a base instead of the Empathy one pulling lot of Empathy code with it?

Also, it would be good to have a nice model/view separation in telepathy-gtk.
Comment 5 Mateusz 2010-07-28 14:01:38 UTC 
If I understand correctly, this issue involve searchbar for contacts. Will it work the same like in PSI-IM?

I mean, when I will start typing first words, Empathy will show nick which include these words?
Comment 6 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-08-02 09:44:00 UTC 
Yeah Empathy 2.31.x does exactly that now :)
