No news yet. I've become quite busy with work, in fact almost desperate
at the moment. ;) So probably no news for another while.

The path there would be first to do another API upgrade to the opengraph
API. This possibly involves adding another library dependency to KIPI
(or reimplementing opengraph support from scratch). Also the
synchronisation might become as complicated as synchronisation between
normal address books, because we'd need to keep track of changes to
identities on both sides (contact renames, etc). And if I remember
correctly "person" is a computer-global concept with the semantic
desktop, so changes to contacts might originate in other applications as
well. Semantic desktop doesn't work on my installation for some reason,
so can't tell for sure.

I have a good idea of what needs to be done and could support anyone
interested.
