Description Simon McVittie 2010-11-18 06:05:08 UTC
Salut should use TpBaseContactList for the contact list. As a prerequisite, I think we need to change the behaviour of handle allocation. Currently, you can only make a handle for contacts visible on the local network. I think you should be able to get a handle for any contact - you just won't be able to communicate with them.

It turns out you already can, the regression tests just behave as though you can't.
