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"
Install and run ktp-contactlist branch mklapetek/kpeople
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
- 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?
The code says: "//FIXME: for some reason we get most of the contacts twice in the resultset," What's happening is we run a query "SELECT Distinct ?contactURI ?emailAddressForThisContact" If we have a contact with 2 email addresses, we get the same contact URI twice once for each new email address. (email addresses are just one example, it applies to all things fetched) Current code as far as I can tell, will ignore/hide the second email address. If we're going to do that, we can just simplify the query and make it faster too..or we should try and fix it properly
Why does indexForUri go searching recursively through all the indexes comparing them in turn when we have a frickin' hash table of everything indexed by Uri!
Why is there duplicate detection stuff in the middle of this? It wraps DuplicatesFinder and turns the result URIs into indexes. but why? All the core methods work on URIs anyway, so this just ends up with us having an option to go to indexes and back for no reason at all.
Roles need sorting as per discussion in Pineda
Why is query() a slot invoked through QMetaObject?
I assume there's a clever sensible reason, I don't know what it is, so
it needs documenting please
I /think/ if you call removeContactsFromPerson that contact is now not in the model, not inserted as a contact anywhere.
Misc thought: createPersonFromContacts et al, don't actually use the model. Can/Should these be moved elsewhere? Is there a case for calling it without the model?
