Decibel is a new communication framework for KDE4, the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. Decibel aims to integrate all communication protocols into the desktop. As of now they have all their contacts in different applications: AOL, MSN, E-mail, Skype, etc. Decibel wants to put all contacts in one place and make it easier for the user to manage and communicate with his/her contacts.
For example Alice wants to talk to Bob. Alice requests to start a connection to Bob and a service manager, known as "Houston" takes in the requests and choose the best way to communicate to Bob (depending on telephone number, e-mail address, etc), and opens up a connection to Bob. This way Alice can contact her friends no matter what protocol they are best contacted with.
