Forget about network, Akonadi is supposed to be a local storage. If we
start to add network support we'll have to take take of user management,
authentication etc., so earlier or later we'll end up in a groupware
server, which is not what we want!

We plan to support profiles, where every profile can contain a couple of
resources, so every application can have its own profile with assigned
resources or can share it with other applications.

Well, but maybe we can use autogenerated GUIs here, so that the
application developer don't have to write configuration GUIs for 3rd
party resource plugins.
