Excellent research, yes.


I've done a little work in the past on simplifying KOrganizer's UI, since I 
don't like most of the dialogs (being used to the Palm Pilot calendar UI, 
which is much smaller and doesn't come close to handling all the crap you can 
put into iCal). It may be worthwhile to also put a little effort into making 
the dialogs a little more "pluggable". That would involve defining interfaces 
and making the existing dialogs derive from the interface instead of 
hard-coding all kinds of update logic in the dialog itself. I'm not sure if 
that fits in your scope, though -- you may be interested in the views only.
