*Communicate*. The natural assumption (at least *my* natural assumption) is that by adding an user, the information I will share with them will be the *messages I send to them*.
I will also share my online status ("offline", "online", "available", etc.), but I can choose that status from a very clearly visible chooser in the main Kopete window. Any other information buried into nested configuration dialogs is *not*, in my opinion, a kind of information-sharing that is "natural" of an instant messenger. Let's make a comparison: when I choose to register online a product that I have downloaded or bought, I am certainly *not* expecting it to send information listing, say, all the programs that I have on my machine or the contents or the contents of my filesystem --- even though I am voluntarly enaging in information sharing with the software product's maker. -- Default "privacy" settings don't respect privacy https://launchpad.net/bugs/50387 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
