Re: [Iruka-devel] Re: "add contact" dialog box

[Erwan Loisant]

Yes, sure we should not ask user to enter full JID.

But it is still possible to do a very simple dialog like:

-------------------------------------------------
Network [Jabber  ]    (<-- this is a combobox)
        |  ICQ   |
        |  MSN   |
        | Yahoo! |
        +--------+

ID : __________
---------------------------------------------------

- Network combo is filled up automatically with transports user 
subscribed to
- JID will be constructed according combo (no change if jabber, add 
@transport otherwise).
