Models and dataengines

[Ivan Cukic]

Hi all,

this is a followup of http://tinyurl.com/telepathy-shelf and David's

So, first of all, I'd like to ask about the 'useful models'* - are those 
planned to be in a library (libktelepathy, decibel... or whatnot) or just 
to be a reusable piece of code lying around.

What is the current state of those and where can the code be found?

* anything that will save me from yet another set of IM APIs (I got a bit 
ill from psi and java's smack) :)

When you say 'aggregated', does it imply akonadi as well? That was one of 
the initial ideas I had for Lancelot[1] (and Shelf obviously) - to show a 
list of fav contacts - whereas if a contact is online, clicking on it 
would bring up a chat dialogue, and if not, it would start kmail and 
create a new e-mail.


Cheerio,
Ivan
