We will be more than happy to welcome you and help working on Telepathy (we
have lots of junior-jobs), just don't waste time on this one (if you don't want
to get your hands dirty with Nepomuk ;)

The thing is that there are pretty much only three account types where user id
is actually email address. That is GTalk, Yahoo! Messenger and probably MSN.
All the rest, including simple Jabber/XMPP, does not provide user's email
address. It's simple - for example ICQ has UIN in form of 9 digits. There is no
way you can email that friend without knowing his email.

So my advice is - don't waste your time on this. We know all about it and are
working on it. If you want to work on this, which includes KDE PIM and Nepomuk,
send me a private mail and I'll get you on track. Otherwise join our mailing
list (kde-telepathy at kde.org) or our irc channel #kde-telepathy and we'll get
you started on other tasks, where we need help.
