About Folks
===========

Folks is a contact aggregation library. It retrieves contacts from
various sources (including Telepathy IM accounts, libsocialweb web
service contacts, and local contact stores) and compiles them into
fully-fledged people objects. The ultimate goal is to provide the
platform with easy access to all of the user's contacts.
