I played with that resource on kdemail.net for a long time in the PIM 
group and the prospects are nice. However its unusable for large groups 
over the internet currently.
* You need to use dimap or else it gets too slow to startup. DImap is too 
fragile and we'd loose our data soon.
* TODOs + addressbook don't work in a multi person environment. Well, 
technically they do; but from a usability and practicality point of view; 
they don't.
The problems include that there is no clear indication who created a new 
TODO or addressbook entry, and no way to separate your own made items 
from the others.  This practically means the user can't use the stuff for 
his own usage anymore.

This leaves just the option for a small amount of appointments, and I 
think we should export to ical for that usage. (maybe combined with a 
cool new stuff entry).

The best solution here is to fix all those items in korganizer. ;)
