ejabberd - Comments for "mod_shared_roster and nicknames"

You could modify mod_shared_roster to return nickname as name

mod_shared_roster doesn't return name in get_shared_roster function and you could modify this to get user's nickname or fullname from vcard as his name. I think it would work fine.

I think ejabberd provides

I think ejabberd provides only the JID, so Pidgin, iChat, psi show only that, as expected. In case of Adium, maybe it is smart and looks the user vcard to get the nickname.
