It has four parts: an addresbook, a calander, a to-do-list, and a
mailreader.   They seem to be modular.  I've never used the email
reader (i use mutt).   The addressbook is prety slick, I love it.  
The calander seems to be pretty good, I don't use it much.  The 
to-do list needs work.

yes,exactly.

The tricky part, that I haven't figured out what to do with, is data
storage.  Certainly, for the sql backend, I'd want the address and
calander data in sql, and not on the local disk. ...
