Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum.
I would actually suggest looking into the new Unity8 desktop/mobile system to see if that can have the functionality you are looking for.   (It's very alpha desktop right now though)

Title:
  unified contacts/calendar/...

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  * this is a wish *

  Ubuntu has at least three distinct desktop worlds, each coming with
  its own individual storage for contacts, calendar entries, todos, etc.
  There's the gnome world with evolution, there's the KDE world with
  it's storage, and there's Thunderbird, and maybe more.  A real
  nightmare.

  Would be really great and a significant improvement if there was a
  unified ubuntu storage model for

  * contacts (including e-mail-adresses)
  * calendar entries and TODO's
  * points of interests / GPS coordinates
  * maybe WWW bookmarks
  * (maybe account data)

  to enable to use the same set of data from all desktops, and to be
  easily able to copy the files from one computer to another.

  Proposal: Use a sqlite3 database in the user's home directory, and
  write an ubuntu library to deal with it (and the database versioning)
  with a plain API. Then write - where possible - adaptors for KDE and
  GNOME, or invite developers (e.g. of Thunderbird) to adopt that
  method.

  Would be important to keep those implementation details away from the
  API to be able to update or use new technologies smoothly.

  regards
  Hadmut
