The first thing we need is a social network abstraction library. We have this 
in university, written in Java for a number of networks, but we don't have 
this in KDE yet. If there is a consensus that this is too much work and we 
could temporarily live with a OCS-specific solution, that'd be fine with me, 
but then we'd still need an OCS library in kdelibs I assume.

The second thing we need, for testing and in general, is a free implementation 
of OCS. From what I understand, there is one already being developed by the 
forums.kde.org people, but I haven't seen it yet and it wasn't brought up on 
kde-services-devel either.

The third thing we need is a way to click on people and play games with them, 
preferably in a Plasmoid. Oops, we've had this in ggz-kde-center for about a 
year already, it's named Plasma-KGGZ :-)

Actually, if you look at it at a more abstract level, we've had this as a 
Kicker applet since KDE 2 times already (GGZap), which along with Noatun was 
one of the very few non-reactangle applications when you activated the applet. 
But I scrapped this when I saw frinring's Contacts applet back then because I 
thought that this would be the way to go, and only later reimplemented it as a 
Plasmoid.
