Telepathy integration into Evince: Progress Report Weeks #3-4

[Tiffany Antopolski <tiffany antopolski gmail com>]

What I have done since my last report?
-------------------------------------

1. synchronous vs. asynchronous:
    Last week I talked to Ryan Lortie about asynchronous programming.  He showed me some basics using gtk, and demonstrated sync versus async using two very simple programs.

2. Folks:
    Looked at Folks (http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Folks). Installed api documentation into devhelp, and wrote a little program that uses folks to get the list of contacts and prints them to the terminal. Code is here: https://gitorious.org/contact-chooser/contact-chooser/blobs/master/folks_terminal.c

3. contact-wizard design
   Danielle Madeley pointed me to the discussion during the IM, Contacts & Social hackfest in the UK last week about the design of the contact chooser (https://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/IMContacts%20Social2011/Tasks/ContactChooserDesign) with some mockups. There are quite a few mockups here, but I think the main thing that pertains to me is the reference to bug# 650861.

4. Updated the wiki page (https://live.gnome.org/TiffanyAntopolski_Evince_Telepathy).

Issues/questions:
-------------------------
  - Allan Day mentioned that the user-experience of the contact wizard should have a relationship to the contacts app (https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Contacts).  There are a few mock-ups here, each of which has a different UX design.  So not quite sure how to proceed.

  - folks vs. folks-gtk?

Next week:
----------------
  - At the moment I am thinking to take the code I wrote and expand it to a gtk gui using gtk tree view.
