He, that sounds good :)

Well, for KDE 4 the API of the resources isn't finished yet, so maybe
you should concentrate on KDE 3.5.5. Most companies, schools and
universities will use 3.5.5 for the next 2-3 years anyway, so
implementing it only for KDE 4.0 wouldn't make much sense.

Maybe some general information how to start hacking a new resource:

What is a resource?
  - A resource is a plugin which is loaded by the several pim
    applications to access pim data from external data sources.

So you have to implement/adapt a new resource for libkabc (address book
library) and libkcal (calendaring library).

We have currently 2 versions of an Exchange resource (exchange and
newexchange), both are located under
  svn://svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5.5/kdepim/kresources

I guess should take a look at newexchange and try to adapt it to the evo
plugin.

If you have questions feel free to ask on this list or on #kontact
channel on irc.kde.org.

Ciao,
Tobias
