Well,

It looks like people are starting to look at developing multiple resources 
for kabc, so this raises the question of how to properly use them.

My thought was to implement a kcmodule to allow the user to choose the 
resource. This would be either File, SQL, or LDAP. For starters we would 
only allow a single resource (for r/w). This would be saved in a kabcrc 
file and would be honored by the StdAddressBook::instance() method to load 
the proper resources. This would allow all applications using kabc to 
transparently support LDAP, SQL, File, etc.

Once this is functional, it would be nice to add multiple read resources and 
a single write resource. This would allow users to have a local addressbook 
they can add to, and a company wide addressbook for reading only (as an 
example).

Does this sound reasonable to everyone else?
