I would like to register a vote for the continued development of the KDE variant of Ring. I find integration with PIM useful.
KDE is an important desktop environment. It also happens to be the one I use on a day to day basis. Furthermore the developers are ramping up their support for touch devices. I really miss Twinkle phone and its integration with kaddressbook. With the exception of video capability the other Linux softphones are still playing catch-up. Although there is a native KDE communications application the developers have put all the emphasis on supporting every know IM protocol instead of fully supporting SIP or even the address book. It's hard to believe but you have to go to the settings menu to place a call. For whatever reason they hide the functionality.
