==== Short and Long Term Goals ====
This is a brain dump being written as we talk about it on IRC. This needs much more information/design before any of it goes anywhere.
* Pluggable address books
** A system whereby extra definitions for different formats/address book interfaces may be bolted onto the main address book code without need for major code rework. (things to remember: device synchronisation)
* Device Synchronisation Interfaces
** See [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla2:Device_Sync Device Sync]
* Revised back end
** This is potentially a better alternative to mork see [[MailNews:Address Book Native Formats]] for more info.
* Remove nsDirPrefs - this will probably be needed to help pluggable address books.
* Some kind of generic interface for import/export etc of different types of cards and books.
