[Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar] Limit the nick name to be only 8 characters maximum #10737

[Simon Schampijer]

Just in case people are wondering: this patch does only affect internal 
handling. The nick name that is visible in the UI (neighborhood view) is 
not affected by the limiting. It will be displayed in full length.

A self is missing here. Gets introduced in "Fully update the salut 
account information when the nick name changes #10749" (which depends on 
this patch).
