Contact list to be used for chat roster, address book

OpenOLAT should allow exchange of information on a peer level. For that purpose, peers can find them via the user search and then request to be connected (as known from facebook, LinkedIn, Xing etc).

Workflow

• Go to "my peers" or the chat tool
• Search for user based on known email, firstname, lastname or other configured properties
• Send connection request or chat message (which will automatically include a connection request)
• Peer gets request, says yes or no

my peers

• Address book
• List of users with whom I am connected
• Export to CSV, includes information that user released for each peer

Chat

• Chat shows peer list: online/offine
• Add button to add a user from any of my groups (list of todays online users). Will trigger connection request
• Search field to search for any OO user
