The really important thing is not to kill performance for the sake of 
"good design", something that I think both Mozilla (compared with 
Netscape) and KDE (compared with older versions) stand guilty of. As a 
very low priority background project I'm thinking about something which 
would synchronise multiple apps and possibly multiple users to do a 
particular job, this would be very much tree-structured with a database 
backend. [The market leader is strictly single-user, in fact the user 
can't open up multiple windows let alone spread his workload over 
different computers. However in this case synchronisation would be by a 
work queue on the backend, i.e. it would need nothing like the bandwidth 
of a single integrated application.]

Interesting that both you and Mattias are on the same track.
