Hello,

I agree with this feature wish, OTR communications get sometimes
requested by communication partners.

This has potential to make swift development more transparent
and grow more participants and feedback, but of course
it is more work to maintain the infrastructure.
(And it is hard to let this hosted on a Free Software plattform
that is nice and accessible. Two popular choicese: Bitbucket and github ran on 
proprietary software, which I believe is not suitabel for a Free Software 
initiative like Swift.)

I'd rather have the swift developers do their design thing their way 
than having them divide their forces to maintain infrastructure for 
transparency. While of course I agree that it would be a good thing
in the long run. :)

I agree with the problem description, I think it is import to be able to tune 
notifications to use sound or other stuff.

How does this work? I'd appreciate a pointer to a more detailed manual or 
describtion, I just fired up the mixer from Plasma, but could not see how to 
specifically tune Swift notifications (using the Debian wheezy builds of 
swift-im and Plasma).

Best,
Bernhard
