right click buddylist -> add group or maybe an add group menuitem under
the add contact one.. I dunno but the current situation isn't entirely
as discoverable as could be desired. Never the less so long as the
functionality is there.

Mind you we spend all night talking about this and it never occured to
us to look under the contact itself, if two relatively experienced IM
users can't easily discover it I doubt grandma could. Maybe it's because
this way seems more like those popular web 2.0 tags but then for full
effect it would have to extend beyond Gossip and that's out of the scope
of the project. It would be cool to tag a contact such as the wonderful
Brian Pebble as e.g. "Linux" "Fedora" "Rockstar" and have the relation
across the desktop.
