Comment on attachment 8352032 [details] [diff] [review] New wording *** Original change on bio 387 attmnt 291 at 2010-03-22 08:48:55 UTC *** I agree that the current wording is confusing and should be improved, but "conversations" is not clear enough in your suggestion. A MUC is also a conversation... Should we write "private conversations" or "1-to-1 conversations"? Both seem ugly :(. Is "Open Multi-User Chats in a separate window" any better?

I derived it from "Open conversation" on the buddy list and "Join chat" from the menu item. Suggestion: decide once how to use the terms and use it consistently from then on (ie replacing any occurence of other wordings with the chosen one). --- Having a guideline how to reference certain things could be a good idea in general (and make sure that the locale teams know that they should do similarly) but that's not in the scope of this bug.

*** Original post on bio 387 at 2010-03-23 12:04:40 UTC *** (In reply to comment #2) > I derived it from "Open conversation" on the buddy list Conversation is either a 1-to-1 conversation or a MUC. If someday we decide to allow people to add MUCs in their buddy lists, the menuitem will be the same as for regular buddies. (a bit off-topic: the word "Open" is not really appropriate in "Open conversation" because it doesn't not reflect an operation that the user actually performs. I thin it would be better to have either "Start a conversation" or "Focus current conversation", but it's tedious to check if there's already a conversation for that buddy before showing the context menu.) > Having a guideline how to reference certain things could be a good idea in > general (and make sure that the locale teams know that they should do > similarly) but that's not in the scope of this bug. Right, we probably want to have someday a page on the wiki with a list of words that need to be used and translated consistently.

*** Original post on bio 387 by Azat Tymerkaev <tymerkaev AT gmail.com> at 2010-03-28 10:41:57 UTC *** My Idea: * Open new tabs instead windows * Use for private conversations * Use for Multi-User chats

*** Original post on bio 387 as attmnt 410 at 2010-12-05 21:54:00 UTC *** I checked with Patrick C. and the following sounds OK to him (even though the first is still ambiguous): [x] Enable tabbed conversations [x] Group Multi-User Chats in a separate window
