Woo! Kudo's for keeping that tradition alive while I was (1) moving my

(2) at camp taking care of problem children.

Ach, in HEAD this might be partially acceptable. 3	We should spend some time 
figuring out when to bump KPilot's version numbers, and when to reelase 
something -- separate from a KDE release -- that we can call "ready for use" 
again. It's been a long time.

Common problem of trying to map various address book formats onto each other. 
I think the one on the KDE desktop should be the most extensive and flexible 
one, since that's where oyur coding power is. We can't exactly fix broken 
addressbook apps on hundreds of various electronic gadgets.

Save a conduit version number in the config file, so you can notice when the 
upgrade is done.
