I had a look at all of them, and none of them is what i need (although i use 
kjots quite a lot), but of course i agree that we should avoid to duplicate 
any functionality.

I think with the application i have in mind kjots could be easily emulated, by 
making a treeview of tags. But i seems to me that the code is a bit bound to 
this book/sheet structure atm, so a serious refactoring would be needed.

For the whole todolist i anyway wanted to directly interact with korganizer 
todos via akonadi.

Basket goes into a similar direction, but looks a bit too standalone for me, 
while the new application would add little extra features but is more or less 
just a wrapper around existing things.

KOrganizer should have as primary interface a calendar, while this application 
has one showing information. Behind i really want to share as much code as 
possible (and also the akonadi items for events, todos, ...)

Thanks for ideas =)
