Maybe it is.  I haven't looked at it enough to make a good opinion
however since someone is actually coding it, yes it is. :)

Why couldn't all the interaction happen inside system memory when
running ksync/kitchensync?  The data proxy could wrap all
communication with the database.  Ksync would read and resolve
conflicts between the device plugin and korganizer plugin in memory.

2. Have syncronization with the data proxy happen in Korganizer
   - Ksync uses IPC to retrieve/set information in Korganizer
   - The is a Korganizer PLUGIN for Ksync
   - When IPC calls are received in Korganizer, data can be updated
     real-time in the display.
   - Korganizer will communicate with the data proxy.
 
   DF for option #2:
        DATA PROXY              <-->    KORGANIZER
        
        KORGANIZER PLUGIN       <-->    KSYNC
        KSYNC                   <-->    PALM PLUGIN

What do you think?
