MailNews:Address Book

This page is for planning items related to address book part of MailNews.

Roadmap & Work In Progress

The roadmap isn't detailed but gives a general short-long term outlook on where the address book is heading.

The roadmap also gives some idea of the work currently in progress.

Unfortunately, we can't give timescales as time available for developers is limited.

Useful Information

LDAP Logging

We've now enabled an LDAP logging facility on trunk builds of SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. More information may be found at LDAP Logging.

LDAP Alpha Schema

Before Thunderbird 1.5 and SeaMonkey 1.0 we made some changes to the Address Book to allow more flexible attribute mapping. Additionally, the some of the default attributes changed, so we've put together an alpha version for the Mozilla Address Book schema find it here: LDAP Address Book Schema

LDAP c-sdk upgrade

We've just updated (2006-04-07) the LDAP c-sdk used by address book on trunk projects (Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 1.5) to version 5.17. This may make it to Thunderbird 2.0/SeaMonkey 1.1 if no problems are reported with the upgrade.

Please test it if you can.
