Hmm, I do question why we need another project name and page - I'm quite
happy for all the KDE work to be done under the Telepathy banner, and
using the same resources.

But if you insist on having this KDE/rest of world split, then can we at
 least put all the common stuff on telepathy.freedesktop.org? (e.g.
state diagrams, mission control specs, etc.)

Also, some more discussion would be appropriate - it seems to be all the
 use cases and sequence chats are very wrong - and these are all cases
that we've well analysed and have been implemented already. *In
particular* mission controls job is *NOT* to act as an intermediatary
for all communication - this is madness -5 context switches to find out
anything at all!! At the most basic level, all a mission control needs
to do is manage account details, launch connection managers, and handle
incoming channel requests, launching the appropriate handlers based on
platform/user choice.

To be slightly more positive, If you guys can come talk a bit more,
getting some real sequence diagrams and state charts together that
actually document reality would be very very useful to all concerned.

Right now I'm working on getting a nicer looking page up on fd.o, just
waiting for moin 1.5 to get installed.. ;)

Thanks,
