For those not in the loop, since it has never been discussed here,
FinanceStack is a planned engine to share info among financial applications.
I think that using Akonadi may be a way to go, because it is a storage
engine designed to  share data among applications and that way we avoid
having to implement something ourselves, but things may turn otherwise due
to performance or other issues.
However it may be, making it easy for other application to access KMM data
can lead to exciting opportunities, and also iron out our architecture for
future use cases. I have had the idea of a Plasmoid for some time and this
may be a  good starting point for that.
