I agree with that. It certainly would be nice to position Akonadi as a 
freedesktp.org standard, but at the moment I think out priority should be to 
make it work and integrate with our desktop.

The design of Akonadi took the possibility to standardize at least parts of it 
into account from the beginning, so I think it will be possible to derive a 
specification which can be shared by others without too much effort. It would 
also be possible to share some components, e.g. the server or to provide 
something new like a D-Bus API as an additional lib for clients.

I would welcome work on writing down something like an Akonadi specification, 
although I also think that this should be done in a way which doesn't limit 
us in our current implementation effort.
