KDE Telepathy chat window

[david at davidedmundson.co.uk]

Hey all,

I met a few people from the KDE-telepathy project at Akademy and made a
start on helping out.

I've finished a first itteration of a simple Telepathy Chat Window. It
connects to a single channel, recevies plain text messages, and sends
messages back through a standard but very simple interface.

I was planning to continue work on this - make it show when the user is
typing, gone offline, multiperson chats etc.

Then move on to following the plan outlined in the wiki page
(http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Components/Chat_Window)
and make it themed like an existing Kopete chat window stealing code where
relevant.

I intend on building it all as a stand-alone application but bearing in
mind when designing being able to move the key code to a library at a
later date.

I'm posting for a few reasons:
 - To introduce myself to anyone I didn't meet at Akademy.

 - To see if anyone wants my current code/future code for their telepathy
testing purposes

 - To check that I'm not duplicating or getting in the way of other
people's work. This task is currently assigned to someone, but AFAIK no
work has actually been started?
