In Kontact, the events are very loosely coupled to a contact and it is more on the context of sending the contact an email. More so, i can't find a search criteria for an event on an attendee. What i need is something like ACT which is a mini CRM basically. Each contact can be directly assigned a meeting log with attachments etc... It is not that Kontact is bad. It is very good and convenient to hold contacts but it fails to understand the concept of keeping in touch with clients/colleagues/friends. For example, in ACT you can automatically setup a rule that will alert you to call a client after a few months so you won't loose touch with that person.
