Personally, this type of a system, as well as a centralized calendar and bookmarks database, is something I'd *love* to see in gnome. I'd also like to see something lighter than evolution used to manage the various databases. The data formats that evolution already uses on the backend are standard; ical for the calendar, vcards for the contacts database, etc. Perhaps we can take some cues from the KDE people, but in the reverse direction. They integrated KMail, Kalendar, and all the other components into a single PIM application. Couldn't the various Evolution components be placed inside a (bonobo? wombat? i'm not sure which component does what) wrapper that turned them into separate applications? -Fred -- Fred Smith <fps dividedsky net> Divided Sky Internet
