Update:
 - KPeople branch has been merged to master!
 - All crashes fixed (thanks to mck182 being awesome)

*It is now at a point where it would help to have more people running KTp

(not at a level where we want to have distro packages...yet)

Current priority tasks:
 - Delegate expansion (mck182)
 - Context Menu on metacontacts (d_ed?)
 - Showing PersonsDetailsWidget
 - Fixing PersonDetailsWidget to show lots more information
