           Summary: Redesign dialog for joining group chats
           Product: telepathy
           Version: git-latest
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: contactlist
        AssignedTo: kde-telepathy at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail at eliasprobst.eu


Version:           git-latest (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Currently the dialog for joining group chats lacks several features.

- The name of the group chat needs to be entered every time (no completion list
based on previous entered group chat names)

- There's no listing of available group chats on the server which provides the
selected account (default limit to ~25 items as some servers may have thousands
of group chats. A "Show more" button or an input field which starts listing a
filtered list after entering 3 or more characters would be helpful for advanced
queries of the list)

- It is not possible to query a specific server for its groupchats (one can
also join a groupchat on a remote server like having an @googlemail.com account
and joining groupchats on @conference.jabber.org).

- It is not possible keeping a list of favorite group chats. It probably makes
sense to keep such a list in the group chat dialog. I can't imagine how group
chats would fit into the contact list itself next to regular contacts. I have
never used IRC via Telepathy, but maybe there's already something similar for
favorite IRC rooms.

Reproducible: Always
