The label to hide offline contacts needs to be changed to a more convenient label.

FS#28 - Resized and received pictures are save with UUID file name Expand Collapse

Resized or received pictures should use a temporary name to be saved.

Using UUID needs unnecessarily many resources.

FS#30 - Add meaningful message when files cannot be transfered Expand Collapse

Currently the file transfer just does not work in case the file cannot be stored (e.g. no space left).

There must be a meaningful message for the user that states that the user knows why the file transfer does not work

FS#31 - Cancel file transfer if there is no space left to save Expand Collapse

Currently the file transfer is not aborted in case there is no space left on device to store the file.

The file transfer has to be canceled in such a situation.

Change the current conversations theme with green as primary color to a theme with new primary color.

Add a possibility to share the latest logcat.

Situation as following:
- conversations send to background with conversation overview visible and conversation with A selected
- receiving one or more messages from A
- opening conversations
-> conversation overview is shown
-> all messages from A marked as read

These messages should stay as unread until the user had have the chance to actually see them (has opened the conversation with A)

FS#7 - Change of avatar does not affect "read up to this point" Expand Collapse

Change of avatar does not affect "read up to this point" and perhaps something more.

It would be a nice feature if it is possible to show contact details by long pressing on a contact, no matter where the contact appears, e.g. conversation, conversation list and roster.

FS#10 - XEP-0313 MAM: messages displayed in wrong order until reopen/ref Expand Collapse

XEP-0313 MAM: messages displayed in wrong order until reopen/refresh conversation

FS#16 - Configurable access to phone book Expand Collapse

Currently the user can't stop Conversations from accessing the phone book.
The access to the phone book should be defeatable via a preference.

Additionally the user should be asked about this while starting C+ the first time.

FS#36 - Use the vCard Nickname.Name as display name if it exists Expand Collapse

Referencing Pull Request in github to original Conversations:
https://github.com/siacs/Conversations/pull/7

But need some additional thoughts, since this is an integration with phone book.

FS#39 - Make Phonebook integration a plugin Expand Collapse

Currently the phonebook integration is fully integrated in the main application.
From a "as little permissions as possible" perspective this integration should be moved to a plugin.

FS#41 - Display of delayed delivered messages Expand Collapse

Messages which are delivered delayed should be displayed in a different manner than other messages.

There are different possibilities to display such messages:
1. "Merge" the messages into the conversation according to its sending time
2. Display the message at the end of the conversation and timestamp set to
a. the original sending timestamp displayed italic or
b. the receiving timestamp displayed italic

Possibility 1 is only mentioned for completeness. The vote is definitely for possibility 2.

FS#53 - Add Option to send links with more than x chars as tiny url Expand Collapse

Add an Option to send links with more than x characters as tiny url.
To shorten the link a Service like bit.ly could be used. The Service to use should be configurable.
This Feature transforms the URLs before the are transmitted. Therefore the shortened url is the only url in the transmitted message.

Consider a split of the requirements when assigning this FR.

FS#58 - Introduce a communication layer Expand Collapse

Currently all communication parts and xep implementations are distributed all over the app.
This is a nightmare from an architectural and maintenance point of view.

Maybe a better solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26586324

The message display needs a rework.
Maybe

- like in hangout show the avatar very small sized when the speaking chat partner changes or
