comment about grouping of MUC participants list

Hi,

First off; this is my first time using a mailing-list, so I'm sorry if 
I'm doing something stupid here.. Anyway, I wanted to say something 
about the way participants of a MUC are grouped by "moderators", 
"visitors" and "participants". Those grouping-headers remain visible, 
even when there are no visitors, for example. Isn't it an idea to hide 
them once there are no participants with the according affiliation?

Greetings,
bb.

Sure, that could be done. It's not really an urgent matter (you can
only have a maximum of 2 redundant groups), so we'll leave the
possibility of adding that feature to later versions of Psi, when the
MUC dialog uses the improved general contactlist classes.

cheers,
Remko

Also if you're an admin/owner, then you could drag-'n-drop people into
the other groups to change their affiliation :-)

Sounds like a button for 'Show Empty Groups' is needed.  'Show Offline
Contacts sort of does that in the roster.  I guess you can't have an
empty group in the roster.

Correct. Group (name of a group, to be exact) is a (multiple) property 
of a contact, so a group cannot exist on its own (without a contact), 
thus there are no empty groups in roster.

Q.E.D.
