Yes, it was Paolo who created it with using QtContacts as frontend. We
discussed QtContacts on Desktop Summit in Berlin and concluded it
was...well, not good. Nevertheless we later attended the libfolks talk and
it is pretty much the same as Nepomuk's PIMO:Person, except that Nepomuk is
a broader and general platform while folks concentrate solely on contacts.
And given the effort to integrate Nepomuk more deeply into KDE Workspace,
we simply chose to go with Nepomuk.

And KDE has deeply integrated Nepomuk, which already has contact
aggregation features. I'm not really keen on the idea of having two such
services at once, pretty much duplicating their work.
