            Bug ID: 302514
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 0.4
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kde-telepathy-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Ability to group same contacts
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: cyberang3l at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: contactlist
           Product: telepathy

Some contacts use more than one instant messaging service.

It would be nice to be able to group these contacts as a "single contact" and
use the maximum functionality of all of the different services combined for
this person.
This would decrease the amount of contacts in the contact list, and make the
interaction with your contacts faster and simpler.

For example gmail supports video and audio calls, but MSN does not.
Use gmail to make video calls to this user, but use MSN to chat and skype to
send files. It should be possible to be prioritized which service to use for
functionality supported by more than one services and use the second/third in
order in case one is offline... Maybe a global policy for all and a private one
for each contact.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Try to automatically group contacts with the same e-mail address, and give the
ability to the user as well to group contacts as a "single person" on their
own.
