Well it is a full equipped instant messenger, with friendslist,
personal chat and groupchat, like IRC-Style Group Chat and even an
Email client is implemented for Offline Messages, and there is a file
transfer function, in which OOo is interested, as it is a PGP-Secure
Channel.

It should be integrated into a multi-protocol messenger: Kopete, if
Kopete is based on
Telepathy, Akonadi, Decibell, etc. then here as well.. hope the
discussion is fetched by a technician., The resources must come from
interest here, as even the RS team could not fulfil even the OOo
interest, as they need to develop the library still.. but messaging is
perfect, not it is filetransfer, which is worked on.
It would be great, if someone could have a look at the library of RS.

Fine, how do we can get this to the development teams of each of these systems?

right.

ok, KOffice is good as well, let´s start with the integration and then
suite-ing...them..

Thanks, can you help to bring the RS library into the
kde/Kopete/..duracell package?

Here is the debain package:

Here the kubuntu package:
