23 May 2006, Drag and Drop Fix
Yesterday I checked in a patch to trunk (SeaMonkey 1.5a/Thunderbird 3.0a nightly builds) for Drag and Drop within address book. This greatly improves the current drag and drop functionality. In particular, mailing lists can now be correctly moved between address books. It will hopefully make its way into the branch in time for SeaMonkey 1.1a and Thunderbird 2.0a once its had a few days on trunk.
Please file any new bugs (there are still some drag and drop issues) in the "Core" product under Component "Mailnews: Address Books"
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.
Help Wanted
There are many areas we wish to improve and would like help with, please have a look at the MailNews:Address Book Help Wanted page for more 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
