Kopete is universal, pluggable, and extensible, so this is the right place

We always need more developers, Kopete will be moved to kdenetwork soon and we 
need to focuse in stability, that means bugfixing.
The Kopete team is a nice place to work in, I recommend you subcribe to our 
list kopete-devel@kde.org and join irc as often as you can (irc.kde.org 
#kopete) Every work is coordinated through the list, and we always develop in 
a open manner ( hey guys... I am doing this and this...) and people that work 
in the same module, should have a even stronger communication, see 
kopete.kde.org Development team section and you can see which developers work 
on each section, currently te areas being worked are:

MSN, bugfixing, and group sync handling is b0rked, that is Olivier and 
Martijns land
ICQ, mostly's Stefan Gehn land...
AIM, Nick Betcher and Chris land
Jabber: there is an aussie in #kopete, Daniel that does this dirty part, 
together with Till Gerken 
IRC: Nick and Jason K. land
Gadu: eerrrr.... Zack?

Core libs: Most work there is based on long discussions. That used to be (and 
continue) me and Martijn's land, but new developers are contibuting every day 
more to this zone, specially Olivier and Jason
  
You have the freedom to choose...

Also, to join the team, you should send a picture (see size in developers 
page) and send a box of beer to my snail mail address (see Chile in 
kde.org/contact.html) ;-) 

Cheers
Duncan
