Add to that SMS, dialer, etc for a phone platform if we want to
compete with Android. I think in a lot of cases there are a lot of
these around already but would need to be pulled into the gnome
platform. The PIM stuff from the OpenHand guys (its called Pimlico I
think) which already uses evolution-data-server. Dialer and SMS would
need to integrate into e-d-s as well. It would be good to see
something like this as the OpenMoko phone was originally going to be
all gnome but has fragmented somewhat away from it.
