As already mentioned, integration is nice, but I wanted to add a few things. 
In KDevelop it is already possible to manage projects in an integrated way. 
When I read your suggestions, I didn't think as much about KDevelop, but 
rather using activities to achieve these things you want to do. We are already 
working on plasmoids for telepathy, that will help you starting a new 
"conversation" (like irc or something) and manage your contacts (related to an 
activity). Also, I guess, some day it would be possible to put certain streams 
from akonadi (rss, mailing-lists, …) onto your desktop. This way you would do 
all the meta-things, like communication and related stuff, using your activity 
desktop. Everything related to code would be handled in KDevelop.

What I want to point out is, using KDE's technologies, it is possible to 
achieve a great amount of integration. This integration is provided by the 
workspace and the tools developed by KDE. So IMHO it would be far better to 
implement the things, you are talking about, as reusable parts for the KDE SC, 
so you can benefit from everywhere, not only in a single application (be it 
KDevelop or any other).

Just my 2ct about this topic. That's what I like best about KDE's workspaces. 
Everything is (supposed to be) nicely integrated by design :)

bye then
