Right, but where is it saving the actual data? If a person is subscribed to
one project or the other, how is that person getting the info? Is the
contact info saved in each project, or is it somehow aliased? If, for
example, I used a different server for each project (I wouldn't, but it
seems like I could), the data would be duplicated, right?

I'm just looking for where the conflict might lie. I understand the hassles
of multi-user contact and calendar servers , and I don't think it's as
simple as somebody deleting a contact. I'll try to duplicate something
specific and post what I can get it to do...
