I think most of the pieces for this are already here, or are planned: 1. telepathy-based and/or akonadi-based social messaging system that allows you to register, retrieve, and submit messages from social networking sites using plug-ins. 2. nepomuk-based unified contacts, so everyone account on each akonadi and telepathy plug-infor a given person is linked using nepomuk. 3. link nepomuk contacts to activities 4. a plasma dataengine to retrieve messages from a given nepomuk contact 5. a plasmoid to display all messages from a particular set of nepomuk contacts This wouldn't have to just include social networking messages, either, it could include emails, chats, events, anything tied to a particular nepomuk contact. -Todd _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
