I would personally like to see people test out IRC more and try to find some 
bugs, with a reproducible situation (many reported "bugs" are very vague and 
aren't consistently reproducible).

ICQ also has many other features and useful functions that many users use. 
(Another one being Invisible support).

IMHO there is a lot to do before releasing 0.4 and quite honestly users won't 
really care about KMM, as much as you'd like to think so (users, not those 
half users/developers). We care because Kopete is our child and code 
reusability to a developer is awsome :)
