           Summary: Facebook contacts can't move into other groups /
                    rosters
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: gabble
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mikesena at gmail.com
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


Currently, Facebook friend lists ARE received and shown as rosters.  However,
when sending a roster change request to Facebook, Facebook responds saying that
feature has not been implemented yet.  (Example of the first stanza sent pasted
below). 

The Facebook plugin for Pidgin (code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat)
implements a way to create friend lists and move contacts between these.  The
method it does so, located in the "fb_friendlist.c" file, is to send a post
message, as the FB chat UI does.

I would love it if Telepathy be updated to handle this as well, as its a
feature I use regularly on FB itself, and used to use on Digsby/Pidgin before I
found Empathy.


E.g.
 gabble_roster_handle_add_to_group: Roster item as message:
<iq type="set" id="164369773388"> <query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster"> <item
name="Michael Sena" subscription="both" jid="-1234567890 at chat.facebook.com">
<group>New Group Name</group>
 <group>Current Group NAme</group>
</item>
</query>
</iq>
