I think of integrating at least KMail, Kontact, Kopete with social networks and online services. My proposals: Facebook contacts are seen online in Kopete Facebook messages are sent/received via KMail Facebook chats are managed via Kopete AddressBook is filled with Facebook contacts (and changes like new email or new phone are automatically updated to address book) Google Calendar is synchronized with KDE Calendar After clicking on contact you have access to last chats, email, facebook messages, photos, twitters, flickrs etc. Etc. Etc. I hope you get the idea For inspiration please look at Digsby or Xobni cenebris, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.

No code has yet been committed into /trunk/KDE/ and the features provided by this are not present in trunk at this time. Last edited by bcooksley on Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:54 am, edited 1 time in total.

There is also active development on a similar resource for Google Data, contacts and calendar, also in playground/pim. Cheers, _ anda_skoa, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.

I would love for these features to be implemented. Unfortunately, facebook is like a vault. They don't have imap for messages and using nay kind of program to sync contacts would constitute a violation of their terms of service. Google on the other hand is very open, free imap, import and export of contacts, very groovy.
