KTp/libkpeople
About
LibKPeople is a contact aggregation library for KDE.
It is *not* a KTp specific library, we are simply the first adopters as well as the developers so the wiki page is here for the time being. This page is about the libkpeople changes needed to make a release of KTp with libkpeople support.
Big discussions about libkpeople should CC the pim mailing list.
Setting up
Install libkpeople (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/network/libkpeople) Install ktp-nepomuk-service (https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/network/telepathy/ktp-nepomuk-service)
start the nepomuk service either by logging out/in or by running "nepomukservicestub nepomuktelepathyservice"
Reinstall KTp, and you have metacontacts everywhere.
You may also want to install PersonViewer a tool to view all contact information from all sources (http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fmklapetek%2FPersonViewer.git)

Public API Review
Below are a list of issues, please resolve (either by fixing or discussing) then remove from this list
The list of public classes are:
- PersonsModel
- PersonsModelFeature
- AbstractPersonsPlugin
- BasePersonsDataSource
- DuplicatesFinder
- Match
- MatchesSolver
- PersonActionsModel
- PersonsPluginManager
- PersonData
Anything else in the main lib is private and thus I don't care.
PersonsModel
Why is addContactsToPerson async but removeContactsFromPerson syncronous?
I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.
Testing
See git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/mklapetek/PersonViewer for a generic "new addressbook" KTp has kpeople support merged as an optional dependency
git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/vhanda/delete-pimo-people.git is a useful too for wiping all PIMO:Persons useful for testing merging repeatedly.
