• Some visible changes in F1 view:

* the number of buddies should be increased from ~20 to 70-90
  some Sugar versions (maybe 0.90-0.92) don't publish information about
  nickname/colors on regular basis; this information are being stored on disk for now
* for some buddies, server still don't have information about colors (replaced by gray) and nick names (jabber ids)
* Neighbourhood view will show non-Sugar contacts (balck&white colors)
  that might be useful, e.g., to start chating with them using Chat activity
