Various systems have different representations for user accounts. For
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
example, <link xref="tech-eds">Evolution Data Server</link> has the user's
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
list of email contacts. <link xref="tech-telepathy">Telepathy</link> has the
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
user's list of instant-messaging contacts. Various web services have the
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
user's "friends". Libfolks takes care of aggregating all these forms of
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
contacts so that you can get all the accounts that belong to one person.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
This lets software present lists of people in a more useful fashion, instead
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
of showing duplicated people whenever they have more than one account
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
associated to them.

In GNOME, Empathy (the instant messaging client) uses Folks to present a
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
unified view of people ("Person X has these IM accounts"), rather than
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
disparate accounts for the same person ("Person X at AIM, Person X at
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
GTalk, Person X at Yahoo! Messenger").
