I'm all for it. See also the "eks-data repository" thread on kde-devel.

Various dates and places have been suggested. The KPilot team is mostly in 
Eurpose (.no, .nl, .de), and Dan seems to have indicated he'd be willing to 
come out for such an event. Cornelius .. well, I don't know where he is. The 
eks-guy is in .ch. One promising (?) location is the LinuxKongress, the 
German Unix Users Group yearly Linux meeting, which is in .nl this year, in 
Enschede, in November.

O yeah.. if Preston and Matthias (?) can get drunk and design a new protocol 
then we can get drunk and design a PIM architecture.

The abbrowser conduit -- now the KAddressBook conduit -- is listed in a 
single line in the 2.2 ChangeLog; I suppose someone (moi?) needs to supply a 
longer blurb there.
