[Gossip-dev] Improvement Ideas

[Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni]

Hi,

oh my god, which thread did I started :D

I didn't want to restart the sense of faking away-state discussion. I am 
happy to see it seems to be clear, that away and invisible are two 
different cases (and after the last discussion I changed my opinion and 
didn't fake my away/online state anymore).

If somebody didn't like invisible he or she doesn't must use this 
option. In the worst case you will be coerced to chat with somebody who 
seems to be offline.

Removing persons you didn't want to chat isn't everytime the solution:

- you just didn't want to chat with this person today
- it have negative consequences to remove a person, e.g. your boss or a 
family member or old school friend will ask you, why you removed him/her 
or will be sad, that you removed him/her

I didn't want repeat the main arguments for the invisible state, because 
  I think they are clear and good presented in the mail of Cj and Richard.

Of course invisible isn't the best solution, but until the most jabber 
server didn't support a better solution I think this "workaround" will 
be acceptable.

Regards,

Keywan

P.S.: Some words are from a German-English-translator, I hope the 
message is still clear ;)
