integration is nice and all, but please keep the usefulness in mind. an 
integrated irc client is really nothing I want to have in kdevelop, quite 
frankly... next someone wants an email client and we end up being emacs...

Rather I think - assuming you want to contribute to kdevelop - you should 
think about integrating smaller utilities that are acutally useful in an 
integrated development IDE. Having a list of bugs would be useful. Some way to 
share meta data with developers, i.e. where their mailing lists are, what 
their irc channel is etc. pp.

All the above is exactly the idea of our integrated plasma dashboard. If you 
want, you can try to bring it up2speed and making it useable.
