as i mentioned on irc, the place for this is decibel.

if you read here:

	http://decibel.kde.org/index.php?id=roadmap

you may see this:

"[The Decibel team] decided to base our work on the Tapioca framework. Tapioca 
is a great starting point for our work. The current development version is 
based on the Telepathy specification and tries to extend that by providing 
more useable interfaces in the language bindings they provide."

and if you look here:

	http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Mission_Control

you may see this heading:

"Synchronising personal data, presence and connection statuses across 
accounts"

which seems to be an approach to this whole problem. we don't need more 
specifications that diverge the two desktops.

i'll be the last person to say "don't work on something that interests you"; 
we're all here to have fun and what not. but if you wish to help improve kde4 
by getting your code included there, then we should probably consider the 
most appropriate solutions for kde4 (i know, that's kind of stating the 
obvious).

if the intention is to get this stuff into kde4:

has anyone contacted the decibel developers? if not, let's do so!
have the decibel developers replied to this thread? if not, why?
