Re: Planning and such

Hey,

Thanks for the edits. I looked over the article, whilst I really like
the idea of adding an about section, I didn't really like the current
form. It focussed on stuff we didn't do, rather than focussing on what
we do well. It's a rock-solid stable project and I want that to come
across.

Martin, Vishesh and I did a bit of editing and came up with this.

KDE Telepathy is an instant messaging suite built upon the <a
href="http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/">Telepathy</a> framework. KDE
Telepathy provides text chat, video calls and file transfer services
over many popular instant messaging platforms including Facebook Chat
and Google Talk.  In addition KTp provides libraries for embedding
instant messaging or real-time collaboration inside your application.

KDE Telepathy follows the philosophy that communication is a service
offered to applications and the desktop. A more indepth technical
explaination can be read over <a
href="http://www.aosabook.org/en/telepathy.html">here</a>, but in
practice, this means that KDE Telepathy consists of independent
components. This allows KDE Telepathy to be well integrated with the
rest of KDE by providing plasmoids and runner interfaces as well as
providing the traditional contact list and chatting application. This
level of desktop integration allows endless possibilities and a
greater freedom of choice with how you interact with your contacts.
Boundaries of Telepathy however do not stop at communication, the next
step is collaboration, for example games can take advantage of
Telepathy and provide a multi-player capabilities without the hassle
of setting up network connections.
