Hi Bryan,

Consider that your application is competing with KAddressbook and
KOrganizer. Therefore some compatibility is essential. In particular there
are applications that rely on the existence of the DCOP interfaces of
KAddressbook and KOrganizer for their operation. Take them into account.

Oh, and your screenshot suggests that a person can only have about 4 phone
numbers, one for each of home work fax and mobile. That's a bit of a
limitation.

Other than that, you've already heard of all kinds of suggestions for what
to watch for. There's a checklist, available from developer.kde.org, of
what you should have ready for making something a KDE app.
