In the end, we both agree that kabc is the more appropriate place to store standard information about messaging, rather than a libkopete. Further, we've agreed on a design for that an improved KAddressbook UI could use that information, combine it with a small standard messaging DCOP interface, and display contact status from *any* messaging system, whether KDE standard or not. (Simon: yes, we plan on using DCOP, to handle the jabber or MSN equivalent of a mailto: :-) Once I've finished with my current project in a month, and Martijn finishes his thesis in two months, we'll see about putting our design to code. In the meantime, this eliminates the conflict between Martijn's kopete plans and libpsi/libkdemp/whatever Justin's lib will be called, so let's put it on the KDE 3.2 features list! - -- Neil Stevens - neil@qualityassistant.com "I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left." - Margaret Thatcher -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9Taasf7mnligQOmERAlR4AJ9lAk86rTbRqa13gbhwDhVKedOI8ACgiT2f wzWqTpiXALqw81/gf4z35oM= =bwAT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
