==== VCARD ==== | |||
We currently have limited vcard support. The address book is able to interpret cards in the version 2.1 format and process them into the address book. It can also send cards out as vcard (though only via a personal vcard at the moment). | |||
We need to make this work better for us, we need to: | |||
* Revise or find a new implementation for VCards (the current implementation was derived from bison sources which we no longer have, and is pretty unmaintainable anyway). | |||
* The new interface needs to be scriptable. | |||
* We will need to find ways of importing and exporting vcards as files. | |||
* Upgrade to support 3.0. | |||
