Description Guillaume Desmottes 2012-04-30 10:28:37 UTC 
At the moment tpf-persona supports contact-info from Telepathy but does not ask to the CM to fetch those info (tp_contact_request_contact_info_async()).
It shouldn't do it automatically (we don't want to fetch the vCard of each contact) but should have an API to let user request these info if he's interested.

This is needed for bug #674392 as Empathy is now relying on gnome-contacts to display these info. Once an individual is selected in gnome-contacts, it should ask to Folks to request the contact info so they can be displayed.
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-04-30 10:52:27 UTC 
How should be implemented such API? A new interface "FetchableContactInfo" or something implemented on Persona and Individual?

It's pretty Telepathy specific but maybe that could make sense with other backends (socialweb?).

This is actually bug #648805.
