Few ideas for IMs

Since I started using Ubuntu, I switched to Gnome, so I had also to switch to pidgin.

After some 6 months of use, I have few comments and ideas about how an IM should be.

1. It should be possible to group different users into a meta user. This is actually already possible and allows to group together the same buddy when he or she uses different protocols.
2. It should be possible to specify details for each user. For instance, it should be possible to specify a preferred language for the (meta) user, and the IM should automatically set the spell checker according to the language
3. If some details are specified for a meta user, the users that belongs to the meta user, should inherit the details. It should be possible to redefine any inherited details
4. It should be possible to tag users in order to have a more fine-grain classification than the group-based one.

I hope to see some of these features in the next versions of pidgin and kopete.
