[Kde-pim] Integrate an open social network into KDE SC

[Niels Ole Salscheider]

Sure, I am not talking about XMPP chat, that is already covered by Kopete and 
Telepahty and is working great.
[Apart from that, Facebook is not open and even the chat (intentionally) does 
not support S2S connections].

This covers a first thing that could use further integration.

Of course, we should finally support several (open) social networks and thus 
might want to create/reuse some sort of framework. But I think that it would 
be a good idea to focus on one or two at the beginning since there is only 
limited manpower. And it is probably a good idea not to cause too much 
fragmentation of the user base between the open social networks.
If you prefer to start with Diaspora, ... I am fine with that, too. But I think 
that there are not that many users on Diaspora either and that a XMPP based 
solution (OSW) might get accepted faster once your present XMPP provider 
supports it.

Regards,

Ole
