[Ayatana] Online accounts: how useful are they really?
Guys, just loving Oneiric.
However, something popped up in my mind: how useful is the "online accounts" feature? I know in Gnome 3 google account brings gcalendar events to the calendar, sets up chat, brings contacts and e-mails (I don't think it presently does anything to documents. It didn't, in my case).
However, when I used it at Ubuntu, it did... Nothing. It didn't automatically set up chat for me. It didn't bring calendar events to the calendar, it didn't do anything with the documents, and it didn't set up thunderbird (I decided to use it as backup, and when I ran it for the first time, still had to set up gmail on my own).
Just thinking, cause... It might be a little misleading for the user to wait for it to actually do something, when it just sits there being pretty. I don't know.
