KDE-PIM and Facebook
by Santa Claus on Tuesday 19/Feb/2008, @13:20

Speaking of KDE-PIM. These days, living in an Uni environment where most clubs, societies, and friends have their own facebook page and use it to schedule events, it would be really nice to have some Facebook integration in Kontact.
I've heard about some akonadi facebook integration. Are those the first steps in that direction? |

Would be really cool, but not only for facebook, also other social networks. Also an exportoption for Kadressbook to only export emailadresses for uploading them and searching for friends in social networks.

Yeap, and speaking of email, checking messages from social networking websites would be useful too. We could have those social net sites listed as 'servers' in kmail.

That would be great actually. Also goes for other online messaging systems (e.g. forums/messageboards Inboxes). It's crazy generating extra "email" when it could be managed as like an (IMAPish) folder.
Might be easier if a spec can be drawn up to manage this sort of stuff? Then sites/systems like this can expose some nice and simple APIs rather than rely on HTML parsing from the normal site's output.

Answerin myself...

I've looked around and found that:
- there are no external APIs in phpbb
- facebook API (notifications) is pretty simple XML affair
- I could probably to construct a similar APIs in WordPress(easy) & Phpbb (it's been a while)
So the 'hard bit' would be writing the code from within KDE - especially given I've not written a KDE app before. Does anyone with relevant Kontact/Kmail plugin experience have any words of wisdom about how to go about this?
What's the current situation with the changeover to KDE4/new systems for data integration etc.?
Ta.

As Will wrote further below, there is the beginning of a Facebook integration, including an Akonadi resource (the new KDE PIM data integration system) in
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/pim/kfacebook/

Support for posting journals to Wordpress and getting posts from it is already in Kontact for 4.1.

Yes, there's a kfacebook library in playground/pim and the start of an akonadi contacts resource there.
However the Facebook apis are very limited - you can't create new events or edit anything, just view what is there. The last time I looked, even changing your status message was not possible. I'm more optimistic about the OpenSocial APIs.

Flock can change FB status via API, so I think it's definitely possible.
