Hi,

I can't really answer your questions since I don't know the answer.
However, I do would like to point you to perhaps some interesting ways to
store your data.

Once you start using Qt5 you can use "qtjsondb" to store your data.

The option (and best option) you have right now is to use akanodi with the
KCal class
http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdepimlibs-apidocs/kcal/html/index.html . It
implements the I calendar specification and also has support for todo
items. Using the KCal classes will also make them show in any app that uses
KCal.

If you're making a qml only plasmoid then KCal is not possible since it
doesn't have a qml binding (as far as I know...).

Just letting you know :)

Mark
