Added Help Wanted section.
This page is for planning items related to address book part of [[MailNews:Home Page|MailNews]].
==== Help Wanted ====
We would like to greatly improve the functionality of the address book for both SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. However the developers that are currently working on address book don't have enough time to work on it all themselves. Hence we'd like some help.
--[[User:Standard8|Standard8]] 05:08, 9 Nov 2005 (PST)
The main areas we would like help in (and hence improving) are:
* VCard implementation
** Currently, we only support VCard version 2.1 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29106 bug 29106]. we'd like to extend this to version 3 and look at the possiblities of implementing [http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/dmose/archives/2005/11/webapp_integration_points_micr.html hCards] alongside it.
* Writeable LDAP Directories
** This is a much requested feature and would be very useful [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86405 bug 86405].
* Address Book Card Reorganisation
** The address book card dialog needs relaying out so that it supports lower resolutions better.
** We would like to increase the number of fields that we support.
** See below for further details.
* LDAP C-SDK
**We need to look at upgrading to the latest LDAP SDK version to pick up a number of fixes and implement it.
* Other Help Wanted bugs
** [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&component=Address+Book&component=MailNews%3A+Address+Book&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=helpwanted&resolution=---&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&emailtype2=exact&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= Bugs with the helpwanted keyword] - We'll update this list as time goes on.
==== What's being worked on? ====
This is a list of things we are currently looking at/working on with respect to address book. These are things known to the MailNews devs, note we'll try to keep the list up to date, but don't guarentee it, and schedules won't apply here - We have limited people for address book and we work on it when we can.
* Drag and Drop fixes ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35837 bug 35837] & others)
* Address Book autocomplete transfer to toolkit (WIP)
