Hi Puneet,

I am awfully sorry for not replying earlier. Last week was a busy one.
It would have been faster if you had asked in the mailing list (CCed),
as somebody else would probably have replied. Anyway...

The Call Ui is basically in need of a Ui. What we have is a core
library that mostly works, doing  (for the moment) audio calls and it
is also designed to do video calls, although it needs a few fixes to
do them properly. The current user interface is crap and needs to be
redesigned from scratch and Francesco Nwokeka (CCed from the list) has
volunteered to do this. Maybe you can help with this, I don't know.

There are also other parts of KDE-Telepathy that you can help with.
The best idea is to start from fixing small bugs, so that you get to
learn the codebase and how telepathy works in general. Then I'm sure
you can find something to work on. Have a look at the bugs on
bugs.kde.org, join irc and ask.

Again, sorry for letting you wait.

Best regards,
George
