Information and stuff

When you use subversion to update, for example the addressbook, you can send a ping (like in rss services) to the gui application, that's used to manage this stuff, with some inter process communication system.

When using Linux and Gnome, dbus comes to mind. It would be easy to let subversion send the ping by using a post-commit script when the repository is changed.

The only problem that is left, how can this be integrated into other applications like Evolution.

What information?

• E-mails
• Addressbook
• Todo-lists
• And much more, of course...

Why subversion?

It's distributed, and can be secured, using ssh or something. And it's open source. So it solves a big part of the problem.
