Lately I've been leaning towards contact providers rather than sync, a lot less complicated logic and guessing. libfolks is possibly the direction things will move in but its still a very early project. I've got plans for a couple contact sources I'd love to write.

qgvdial can run without the CM; the CM cannot do without qgvdial. qgv-tp is therefore an "addon" to qgvdial. I intend to keep it that way unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise - primarily because qgvdial is cross platform, but qgv-tp is not.
Seems like it has the potential for an odd user experience but oh well. Though I'm always disappointed in competition rather than help I wish you good luck and hope it turns out well. By this I mean that I'm already spread thin and would appreciate assistance plus it brings up tough questions like "what is the future role of my app? should I just encourage my users to transition or should I keep maintaining".

The external daemon approach could have some benefits though (like already being logged in).
