I think it would it make more sense to move the widgets that you need 
(if you need just widgets) in ktp-common-internals/Widgets and create a 
new repository, but do whatever you believe it is better...

+1! Let's fork... or even better we could ask Mateu Batle to release it 
on kde git.

I think that this will add a lot of complexity to the logger, since it 
won't be just text but a lot more...
I'd rather have something like a conversation viewer that shows a list 
of all the conversations and when one is chosen shows the right viewer, 
in telepathy case your log viewer...
Moreover this is something that is really missing at this time, and it 
is the only thing missing to have a real fully featured im system.


By the way, unrelated to the topic, some users complain that they cannot 
import the history from kopete, I don't care about importing accounts 
and metacontacts, but I was wondering if we should write a script to 
import at least the logs into telepathy-logger.
What do you think?
