Need a VOIP group in the communication roaster of Ubuntu (letter icon)

[Nicolas Michel]

Binary package hint: empathy

When wanted to make a SIP call phone with empathy, I actually need to clic on the letter roaster in the gnome status-bar, choose "chat" which opened empathy window. Then choose "chat" in the application menu and then choose "New call".

This is really not intuitive nor optimized (4 clics to make a phone call - it should be 2 or 3) and "chat" on which I need to click is not really the action I want to since I want to make a voice call.

So either the "chat" name of the category is not a wise choice, either you need to add a new category named VOIP.
