           Summary: ICQ contacts lack info
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: haze
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: om26er at ubuntu.com
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


"""
There's a lot of user info in ICQ: nickname, real name, gender, birthdate,
spoken languages and so on. In Empathy, contact information dialog has only ICQ
number and nickname.

This wouldn't disturb me mostly, but when I set up Empathy to my ICQ account,
half of my contact list is displayed as just ICQ numbers, not even nicknames. I
have no idea who is who there.

It would be nice to get nicknames to be displayed somehow first, because that's
what Pidgin does, and because there's no way to use Empathy until it's done.
And second, it would be even better to enhance Contact Information dialog a
little bit. It would help, for example, when one decides whether to approve
authorization request."""

cassidy: "telepathy-haze should get these information from ICQ contacts and
expose them using ContactInfo."
