Yes that would probably work.  There is some question at this point is whet=
her=20
or not this lib will be mostly for vocabulary data, but it seems that thing=
s=20
are going that way. =20

Question:  Is there anyone out there that has developed or is developing an=
=20
application that would benefit from the data model that the vocabulary apps=
=20
are using?  i.e. a set of text values that represent an "entry" and a set o=
f=20
those entries that represent a "list"?

Ok now, thinking about it, I think the way to go would be to define a set o=
f=20
classes that work with kvtml that are specific to vocabulary.  If at some=20
point we decide that a more generalized approach would be useful, we could=
=20
port those classes to the generalized solution and use the "vocabulary"=20
classes as a wrapper to the more general classes.  How does that sound?

Hmm.  I disagree here.  I see why it would be useful to have separate sets =
of=20
classes, but I don't see why they should be in separate libs.  For example =
Qt=20
is one library, kdeui is just one library, etc.  Again, this is open for=20
debate but I don't see a reason to build several libraries except where the=
re=20
are linking issues (for instance there are potential advantages to not havi=
ng=20
to link to classes that contain GUI items).  What do you see as the benefit=
=20
of these not being in the same library?

At any rate this should give us some good things to talk about at LinuxTag!
