Looks cool guys, I particularly like the mockups. <div><br></div><div>Trying to steer this somewhere:</div><div> - Lets focus purely on the presence side of things. I want a presence plasmoid in this release. We don't have time for both.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Am I right in thinking the discussion has moved to "there should be a global presence, or if the user configures/clicks something they see it on a per-account basis instead."?</div><div><br>
</div><div>I want to push the conversation into "here are the problems with the designs" and then we can work to fix them. </div><div><br></div><div>1) How do we show the user if one of his accounts is different to the global state?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If an account changes status different to the global status we need a way to see it. i.e I can set my global status online - (all accounts come online) then change my gmail status from within the web browser, I need to be able to see that it's changed. We need to respond to external changes but how do we show this? I like someone's suggestion "online (custom)", and then an arrow that presumably expands on a per-account basis. But is this clear enough? Would you know what "online (custom)" meant.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) What is the "global state" when all his accounts are different"?</div><div><br></div><div>What do we decide is the current global presence shown? The most common presence amongst the accounts or the highest presence (i.e if I'm online in one account, and offline in 3 others) am I "offline" globally or "online". Or is it the last thing the user explicitly set the global presence to? We cannot take the assumption that no-one else is modifying our statuses, so this could get messy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3) If my account fails to connect I need to /immediately/ see this. How?</div><div><br></div><div>Is a notification enough? They're not persistent.</div><div> </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">
