Short target kdepimlibs, long target kdelibs. Why? Because there is a list \
of  users and groups, that I want to integrate, the users and groups of the \
 computer system. So developers of programs like a file manager,

Yes, there need to be some programs/modules that allow the editing/browsing \
of  the data. There would be a standalone program, an ioslave(?)/kpart 
combination or something else.

I guess being vCard compatible is needed very much. The experimental code I \
 did so far is build on simply using the KABC interface, so it might be 
possible to express the model in vcard terms. At least I am optimistic. \
Sure,  there will be data loss when exporting to the vCard-only world. And \
importing  from plain vCard might need some manual help. It's the same \
problem we have  with file meta data. But otherwise we are stuck with what \
we have. I want to  try.
