We are planning two releases of KDE Telepahty.

The first one (in about a months time) will be releasing with the basic
functionality,
Then at the end of September(tbc) we aim for a second bigger release with
the nepomuk integration and the concept of meta-contacts - which is what
libkdetelepathy is for.

The models I talked about are currently in the contact list code:
You'd want accounts-model, contact-model-item, account-model-item,
tree-model-item and account-filter.model

However in a few days we're starting a new library to use for the first
release and I'll put the models in there.

We also have a proper plasma data-engine for managing the presence
(online/away/offline etc) for your accounts, and have a working applet for
that.

We do not currently have anyone working on a dataengine for contacts.
