[Kde-pim] Syncronization issue with Akonadi

[Stephen Kelly]

Hi,

Imagine an addressbook application which has a list of contacts and a
contact editing widget on the other.

You are editing the address of the contact when an akonadi monitor notifies
the application that that contact has changed on the server. For example,
when you started editing the address it was 

123 Fake Street,
Silly Lane,
Essen.

You edit the first line so that it is 

321 Real McCoy Street,
Silly Lane,
Essen.

Before you save it, akonadi notifies the application that that address is
now

456 Conflict Street,
Silly Lane,
Essen.

What is the application supposed to do? Offer a merge dialog?

I think there may be other similar conflict situations. Has anyone thought
of what applications should do about this yet?

All the best,

Steve.
