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.
