All other quotes are about, that you could help us with libkabc - that doesn't 
mean, that you shuld drop your work.

Only starting should help?!? Do you really think that users will be happy with 
D'n'D and Copy&Paste?
Just starting the addressbook can be done outside the application too (via

OK - you are right. But It's not technically required. If you just add a 
libkabc-backend using for your addressbook, then you can use it in KMail, and 
we don't have to care about it.

P.S.: Why am I discussing all the time about libkabc? I'm a korganizer-guy, 
not kadressbook...
