            Bug ID: 306094
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: [idea] display good names (+favicons) instead of
                    account adresses
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: fabidesu at googlemail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: contactlist
           Product: telepathy

At the moment in the contactlist is it so that new accounts always get the name
of the mail or xmpp adress. in some cases that are something like
"111001455403723237588456737 at domain.com". now my idea is to show the real Name
of the domain. not the adress. in cases of 2 accounts at the same domain (or 2
windowslive/icq) tha account name could be displayed as tooltip or it could be 
an additional mode

So you will not see "myrealgoodname at gmail.com". you will see "Google".  (or am
I the only one who prefer to see the serviceprovider instead of 5 adresses?

well in case the Idea is good. I'm working on a xml file for it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XMPPProvider>
    <description>List of serviceproviders with names</description>
    <provider>
    <name>Animexx</name>
    <website>https://animexx.de</website>
    <favicon>http://animexx.onlinewelten.com/favicon.ico</favicon>
    <xmppServerAdress>jabber.animexx.de</xmppServerAdress>
    <xmppServerPort>5222</xmppServerPort>
    </provider>
    <provider>
    <name>Google</name>
    <website>https://plus.google.com</website>
    <favicon>https://plus.google.com/favicon.ico</avicon>
    <xmppServerAdress>talk.google.com</xmppServerAdress>
    <xmppServerPort>5223</xmppServerPort>
    </provider>
    <provider>
    <name>Neko IM</name>
    <website>https://neko.im</website>
    <favicon></avicon>
    <xmppServerAdress>neko.im</xmppServerAdress>
    <xmppServerPort>5222</xmppServerPort>
    </provider>
</XMPPProvider>

(only 3 atm but will grow bigger the next days (: .. so you see i use the tag
favicon. for xmpp provider we can display this little icon and not the xmpp
bulb. this will help to find the service if we have more xmpp accounts on the
list (like a friend with 27 accounts..).

Maybe we can use this xml file to make something else. like preconfigurations
for known providers. but thats an other story. 

Reproducible: Always
