Cool. And you do realize I mean *my* info, not my contacts info?

A chat one. That deals with presences. It's basically a GUI for irssi2
(http://2.irssi.org). I'll let you know when I have a conceptual
overview online (it's a bit complicated ;).

What I envision the whole stuff I'm working on (more than just the UI)
to do is to provide presence status information to libgalago and fetch
and update presence info from/to libsoylent so that if my friend pops
up in say irc, I can in the UI say "this is my friend", optionally
providing some more information (email, address, etc) to go and update
the info to every app imaginable (that uses any backend libsoylent
does or libsoylent itself).
