Question

I have an app in dev that involves a small list of people, a small list of places, and dates and times.

What is the best way to save this data?

• People – list will be < 30 people,
  with simple name fields and other
  small string feilds. Should i save
  them as property lists? Is there any
  way to simply create a pointer to a
  contact record instead of copying
  user data to my app and prevent it
  from going stale?
• Dates – What is the best way to
  manage dates with associated
  information?
• Places – Simple list – should I save
  this as a property list file? Same as
  people information?

Also I will be cross referencing this data so it wont be just a simple storage / retrieval of it. Any tips on achieving this sort of thing would be very helpful.

Cheers,
