Hello,
I'm currently trying to give an answer to this feature request :
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129020
The idea is to provide a desktop wide "presence state" handling.
If there is a central place to know if the user is present or not, occupied or
not, it should be possible to do a lot of interesting things.
I started thinking about a solution. You can see where I am here :
http://presenced.free.fr (it's still a work in progress though. For now, the
interesting page are mainly Vision and Specification)
My question is, will this functionality overlap with some current KDE
project ?
If so, I would be pleased to know, in order not to do the same thing in two
places.
I've been told about Houston/Decibel, but it seems to me that it's more about
other people, not about the current user of the computer.
I've also read somewhere that an idea of Phonon was to allow to lower the
volume of your music when an entering VoIP call comes in. That's a typical
use case I would like to address. So, if I get somewhere, it would be
interesting to see if the two things can be integrated.
I would also be happy if someone else is interested by this project and wants
to help, give advice, etc ...
Regards
Julien Bigot
