I was just wondering, before people decide that a database would be an 
appropriate backend for PIM apps, can somebody tell me which applications 
they think should use this back-end? Are we talking about including KMail, 
KNode, messaging applications (ICQ, AIM, Jabber etc.)? What about KProject 
(which Richard mentions) which will need to connect to people schedules etc?

I'm just trying to work out the scope of Mike's proposal, i.e. trying to work 
out the exact nature of the problem before looking for a solution.

Then again I'm only a newbie around here so maybe I missed something. I'll go 
away now and try and find it :-)

Cheers,
Sean
