Ok. My reason for asking is that although I see the PIM applications that we
write as cooperating, I foresee other apps provided by "third parties" later,
that integrate with the database, cooperate with the PIM apps, etc., that
might have nothing to do with the original PIM apps. Do they go into the pim
directory, or into the apps directory? Or, as an example taken right from the
proposed tree... Can't (shouldn't) the notebook in the apps directory provide
for links to data in the database? Does that make it a PIM app?

Chomp, chomp... Food for thought.
