Task Coach (http://taskcoach.niessink.com) has (a) and (d). You're 
welcome to contribute (e). I don't see much use for threading and (low 
level) socket programming right now, but having a real database as 
back-end would be nice. User data is currently stored in XML files. Oh, 
you would have to add "(f) Test-driven development" to your list, hope 
that's not a problem :-)
