Hi!<br><br>I think what you will try to do with the grid view existed during a short periof of time in an IM client named <a href="http://synapse.im">synapse.im</a>. The project is now discontinued, but if you search for pictures (<a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=synapse.im&biw=1280&bih=603">http://images.google.com/images?q=synapse.im&biw=1280&bih=603</a>), you could still see it. <br>
I think is it a really nice to have feature.<br><br>Rémy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/3/29 George Goldberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:grundleborg@googlemail.com">grundleborg@googlemail.com</a>></span><br>

</div>Document collaboration is probably about 6 months work just to get the<br>
basics alone done. You are talking about it here as if it is something<br>
trivial that can be done in a few days.<br>

</div>Is this supported at the Telepathy Connection Manager level? I don't<br>
believe it is, so you'd need to investigate that, and maybe implement<br>
it. Again, this is probably an entire summer of code project on it's<br>
own.<br>

</div>Likewise - kdegames integration with telepathy would make an entire<br>
project in itself.<br>

</div>How? You need to give details, not just a wishlist of ideas.<br>
Otherwise, how do we know that you are up to the task?<br>
<br>
Please don't be discouraged by this. You just need to be a little more<br>
focused, and maybe pick just one of these tasks to work on. You also<br>
need to go into a lot more detail about *how* you intend to implement<br>
it.<br>
