Re: [bug #34660] bbdb-create creates ~/.bbdb improperly

 If ~/.bbdb is nonexistent, M-x bbdb-create creates it improperly such that it
 requires a manual edit.
 Steps to reproduce: Start Emacs. M-x bbdb-create and fill in the fields.  C-x
 C-c to quit Emacs; answer y to prompt to save ~/.bbdb.  The file created looks
 like this:
 
 ;; -*- mode: Emacs-Lisp; coding: utf-8; -*-
 ;;; file-format: 7[John Smith nil nil nil nil nil (jsm...@example.com)
 ((creation-date . 2011-10-26 13:26:08 +) (timestamp . 2011-10-26
 13:26:08 +)) nil]

Thanks. I have a patch that modifies things fairly low-level, not
quite where I expected the problem to occur. Before I install it, I
want to double check that it does not give rise to new problems.

Re: cloudy BBDB

[Brett Presnell]

I do pretty well at keeping my bbdb databased synced across the machines
that I use.  My bigger problem is syncing it with my mobile phone
(nokia/symbian right now) and my google contacts (similar issues with
emacs diary, but that's a different story).  So if the CouchDB setup
makes it possible/easier for me to sync the information with these other
devices, then I am very interested.  Otherwise, not as much.

 I put together some code that uses CouchDB to store Gnus group
 subscriptions and marks in gnus-sync.el.  It works well; so well in fact
 that I'm considering doing the same for BBDB records.  Imagine having
 your BBDB entirely stored on a central server instead of a local file.
 Yes, kind of like LDAP, but not so hard to use and much more accessible.

 In order to do this I will have to generalize and improve the
 gnus-sync.el code that talks to CouchDB.  But I wanted to first find out
 if this interests anyone (and please feel free to tell me my idea
 sucks), or if there's existing functionality that I would be
 duplicating.  I'm not aware of such.

 Thanks
