I am currently trying to add support for Yahoo's multiple profiles to eb-lite,
but there are a number of issues that are making it complicated. For one
thing, I have to make it work properly in libyahoo2, but that has been on my
todo list for a while, anyways. It would help if I knew if any other
protocols we support have anything like Yahoo's multiple profiles. If they
do, I should probably go for a more generalized solution, instead of a
yahoo-specific hack.
For multiple profiles to work as intended, there needs to be some way to keep
track of which profile any particular buddy knows about, or at least which
profile is the preferred one to use when talking to any particular buddy. I
don't see any way to do that with the current architecture, though...
If anybody has any ideas on how this should work, I am very interested in
hearing them...
