Hi guys,

I have been doing some investigations about alternatives for EDS, and
after a quick look
at Akonadi it looks a good candidate. But until now the only client
library I found for it was
KDEPin.

And KDEPin has some problems when try to use it apart from KDE (please
correct me if I am wrong).

1 - The heavy dependency on KDE libraries;
2 - Kdepin has some widgets implemented direct in the API (CreateContact
for example)
    and that make it impossible to use in a different environment.

For ubuntu-phone we need a client library which implements the akonadi
protocol,
and allow us to use it (read, query and write data), in any application
(telephony app for example).

I would like to know if somebody here knows a alternative client for
Akonadi, or
if is possible to use KDPin without KDE, and if we can remove the
widgets away from the API
and use only the protocol.

Another point I did not find the solution for it yet is how the contacts
aggregation works
on KDE? On gnome side we have Folks that helps to linking contacts
(Facebook, twitter, etc..)

OBS: This is only a investigation does not mean that we are moving away
from EDS.


Thanks
Renato
