See www.nettebook.org:8080 This is web-based. I wrote it using PHP and PostgreSQL, use it myself and occasionally add features (however that tarball on the web site is old, I need to make a new one some day). The trouble with KDE apps is maybe you can only use them from one computer, unless it's client-server or you use VNC or something. But I use nettebook at work, at home, at the library, etc... Of course it should be possible to build an application client in addition to the web client. When I get my metawidget framework developed more, I intend to do that. You can take notes on a conversation. Relationships between people, places, things and contact methods are all unlimited one-to-many relationships, unlike in most lightweight PIM tools. There is a mailmerge feature, and I recently added a quick print-an-envelope link (uses the database to fill in fields in a Postscript template and dumps it to the printer). I should make a debian package some day but don't have any experience with that yet.
