Sorry for the long delay; this has languished near the bottom of my inbox for some time.

Specifically I'm trying to figure out how to make sure that aliasForContact (which should probably be renamed "nickForContact" to reduce confusion with contact aliases) always returns the nick of the IRC contact, not the contact's alias.

Libpurple provides us with updates on users via 
static void adiumPurpleConvUpdateUser(PurpleConversation *conv, const char *user)

in adiumPurpleConvUpdateUser(), based on information provided by the server.

That calls to AiAccount's
- (void)updateUser:(NSString *)user
		   forChat:(AIChat *)chat
			 flags:(AIGroupChatFlags)flags
			 alias:(NSString *)alias
		attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes

Which then calls -[AIChat setAlias:forContact:].

If an update for a given user is never received, then the contact's own alias (as known by Adium through other means, such as something the user set or something that was pulled from the address book) is used.

Does that help?

Cheers,
Evan
