Cornelius,

I think things like this would fit nicely into a KSYNC plugin as
follows (beat me in the head for not shutting up about this) :

        DATA PROXY              <-->    KORGANIZER
        
        KSYNC                   <-->    KORGANIZER PLUGIN
        KSYNC                   <-->    PHP GROUPWARE PLUGIN
        KSYNC                   <-->    PALM PLUGIN                

A simple syncronize click would syncronize the groupware server.  Is this
desired, or is real time update desired from Korganizer as records
change?


If anyone backs the above ideas, I have motivation to implement the
data proxy and integrate it with Korganizer.  This would occur
over Christmas time off and right after New Years.

Things I would need input on:

        - Picking a database backend
                * Is a server client database (PostgresSQL) desirable?
                * Is a one hosted lightweight database (db) desirable?

        - Creating a schema for all the data we need to store
                * What data does each application need to store?
                 
I propose the following immediate milestones:

        - Implement the data proxy

        - Test the data proxy

        - Modify Korganizer to store all data using the data proxy

        - Test Korganizer
        

Future milestones:
        
        - Develop Korganizer IPC plugin

        - Add IPC to Korganizer to use Korganizer Plugin

Any comments welcome.

- Nick
