Overall, I think that there was (only) rough concensus for an embedded store, 
although people varied on whether SQL was an appropriate choice.

Can I suggest that you import the code into kdenonbeta, set and document the 
public interface (if anything is different to the normal Qt database 
interface), and maybe write a tutorial on how it is supposed to be used in a 
KDE app.

Then the developers can evaluate its usability, and if someone wants to put up 
a competing proposal (say based on XML files or tdb or xargs | grep or 
whatever), we're discussing concrete options instead of arguing in the 
abstract.
