Agreed

Yeah, something like that :p

We discussed this a lot at the sprint. The situation is, we need
something like the PersonSetModel, but for ContactSet (since the
people in a chat are "Persons" but you are chatting to a particular
Contact).

I'd quite like to take on this task if that's OK? I'll work on it
tomorrow and early next week, and should have something basically
working for you by the time we're migrated to git :)

Once the basic implementation of the model is done, I'll stay out of
your way for the more detailed parts of the implementation ;).
