This sounds good - the IM contact list being and Akonadi::ItemModel
was basically what I was aiming for - avoid every app wanting to do
realtime stuff needing to get the data from two different sources.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. Since decibel takes care of
putting *all* presence into the storage itself, there is no need for
an API to store presence data, just to retreive it, which would be
done by the Akonadi::itemModel (above), woudln't it? Or have I
misundrstood this?
