[Psi-devel] licq2psi converter, how to register new ICQ contact in server's roster?

> 3. add new contacts to config.xml

As far as I know, the roster copy which is in config.xml is there just
to simulate the roster, when offline. There's no use on editing this,
because this is just a copy of the roster, which is on the server. And
sometimes this copy may be wrong, due to some changes meanwhile the
client is offline.

In my opinion, one of the best things of jabber is that all the
information about your contacts is on the server. Even the name you
give them (which is specially useful with transport contacts).

> 4. generate change file for Jabber Roster Utility

This is really the right way of adding/deleting contacts: directly
with the server. And the JRU is a clean and client-independant way to
do that.

I wouldn't make Psi make an ugly hack with the ugly hack I did when
editing config.xml...
