[GSOC] Intuitive log viewer.

[Phani Kumar]

Hi all,

Sorry if I sound rudimentary. I have exams going on and I penned down a few
queries real quick. I seriously need your input on this.

I intend to work on an intuitive chat log viewer for pidgin which will be
on the lines of gnome-contacts (the interface).
I have zeroed down on the final design. But there is one thing I need to
know.
Since we are going in for a more "contact-oriented" way of presenting logs.
i.e. all the logs of a contact spread across various accounts are to be
displayed in one place, why don't we store the logs in a more convenient
manner. I have made this small

[ I have included the pros and cons of both the models, the present model
and the proposed one]

Can anyone tell me how feasible this is and which model would you go for
and why?
Thanks. That would help me decide my future course of action.

Regards,
