desktopcouch contacts from other programs

[John Moser]

I don't see the use of Evolution.  Last time I left it open, I went
from using 2.5G of memory and around 70M of swap (with Evo closed) to
filling all 4G of RAM and 2G of swap; I peeked in Top and saw Evo with
a huge resident (almost all my RAM) and an even bigger VMA, but didn't
manage to kill it because the machine suddenly froze due to OOM and
the OOM killer not working somehow.  That was last week.

It takes me literally 22 minutes to open Evolution, just to get far
enough to go into Calendars and add appointments.  Then I have to exit
(and wait 10 minutes for that to finish) to avoid catastrophic system
failure.

Seeing as how that works, I don't see how CouchDB is revelant (aside
from the reaming it's gotten in the news... best quote:  "Wow. Someone
just didn't think this through.").
