Comment:

 (1) is a job for the individual activities. Presence Service isn't
 localized and doesn't know how to translate "Draw Activity" or indeed
 "Walter's" (possessives are different in some languages, e.g. Afrikaans
 would have "Walter se Tekenaktiwiteit"). Note that Connect does change its
 name on startup, so this is feasible.

 (2) would require Presence Service to track who started each activity as
 an activity property. If we'd known this feature was required 2-3 weeks
 ago, that would have been very useful. As it is, this will probably need
 another round of Salut and PS changes.

 (3) doesn't necessarily work like Eben thinks it does. Telepathy, and the
 underlying XMPP and link-local-XMPP protocols we use, doesn't guarantee
 any particular ordering when listing who's currently in a chat room, so
 for any activity that started before we joined the server, the
 participants will be in arbitrary order. While we *could* maintain a
 parallel members list specifically for OLPC, the code, protocol and
 network traffic required would probably be horrible.

 Also, we don't currently support attaching a list of participants to an
 invitation. Keeping this up to date would require quite wide-ranging
 changes in both Gabble and Salut, so participant lists for invite-only
 activities are not feasible for Trial-3 or FRS, I don't think.
