The purpose of the Instant Messaging Kit (IM kit) is to provide
a uniform way to access the various IM networks that exist, and
to provide a connection between a People file and the IM accounts
that person has.
The IM Kit is a modular framework developed to make it easy to access
various IM networks (ICQ, AIM, etc) and is designed in a way it
is fully integrated with BeOS. It makes use of BeOS attributes,
indexes and live queries to make it as flexible as possible. With
the IM Kit you can, for instance, search for all members of your
family that are online and that by using the standard Find interface.
You can also manage all the contacts using Tracker.
