<terms>
<item>
<title><media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/available.png">Available icon</media>
<gui>Available</gui></title>
<p>Use the <em>Available</em> status when you are at your computer and able
to chat with your contacts. You can set a custom message for this status.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/busy.png">Busy icon</media>
<gui>Busy</gui></title>
<p>Use the <em>Busy</em> status to let your contacts know that you don’t want
to chat right now. They can still contact you, for instance if they have something
urgent they need to discuss. By default, <app>Empathy</app> will not use notification
bubbles and sounds when you are busy. You can set a custom message for this status.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/away.png">Away icon</media>
<gui>Away</gui></title>
<p>Use the <em>Away</em> status when you are going away from your computer.
<app>Empathy</app> automatically sets your status to Away if you do not use
your computer for a while, or if your screensaver is on. By default,
<app>Empathy</app> will not use notification bubbles and sounds when you are
away. You can set a custom message for this status.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/offline.png">Offline icon</media>
<gui>Invisible</gui></title>
<p>When you set your status to <em>Invisible</em>, you will appear as offline
to your contacts. You will still be connected to your accounts, and you
still see your contacts’ statuses and start conversations with them.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title><media type="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/offline.png">Offline icon</media>
<gui>Offline</gui></title>
<p>Setting your status to <em>Offline</em> disconnects you from all of
your accounts.</p>
