[Imservices-development] Merging Prefs

[Graham B. <gb...@ta...>]

I had a wild idea:
What would you think about putting account and buddy list information 
in a separate plist for imservices.  This would allow users to use the 
same account and buddy list information between Proteus, Fire, and any 
other UI front ends that come along.  This would significantly reduce 
the complexity of another UI like an app-less menu extra, mail plugin, 
or CLI because they would just need to interface with IMservices, and 
let it know the buddy lists and accounts.  The account/buddy info is of 
course transferable between the UI's.  I imagine with something like 
this, we may see more development on Front ends.  Proteus and Fire 
would still augment this list of course.

Justin, Jason, what do you think?
