Sounds really cool :)
When will we port libkabc to this framework (Conrelius?)?

BTW I talked with Cornelius about some improvements concerning the
resources, to provide a syncron interface for asyncrone resources.
We came to the conclusion, that some resources will be loaded by default
at the startup of the application, and other resources can be used to search
explecitely for entries (in a search dialog like for LDAP in
kaddressbook). So the user have to decide at runtime which resources
should be activated and which not. For that reason the 'activating code'
should be moved from the KControlCenter to the applications in form of a
dialog in the library.

Ciao,
Tobias
