My bigger problem is syncing it with my mobile phone BP (nokia/symbian right now) and my google contacts (similar issues with BP emacs diary, but that's a different story). So if the CouchDB setup BP makes it possible/easier for me to sync the information with these other BP devices, then I am very interested. Otherwise, not as much. It's definitely easier to sync to and from CouchDB than the native BBDB file format. If you have details about these other formats you need, that would help. I don't know what your phone and Google expect so I can't say for sure if I could generate them on the fly.

This is probably the most significant problem for emacs 23. bbdb-com.el:2362:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be defined: use-region-p, ignore-errors This affects only commands that (I guess) are usually used less often. bbdb-anniv.el:161:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be defined: calendar-extract-day, calendar-extract-month, calendar-extract-year, string-match-p, diary-add-to-list This add-on for bbdb relies on new functions in Emacs 23. bbdb-mua.el:1031:1:Warning: the function `special-mode' is not known to be defined. Not a nice hack to solve this: You could try to load the code from emacs 23 defining special-mode. I don't know whether this might give rise to all kinds of new problems... Roland I have just (today) upgraded to Emacs 23, so I'll just let this thread lie. -- http://www.wistly.net -- RSAreg; Conference 2012 Save #36;700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ___ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/

I don't know what your phone and Google expect so I can't say for sure if I could generate them on the fly. Google can deal with vcard and cvs. I have a reliable way to sync my phone's contacts with Google, so if I can sync bbdb with Google, I'm good to go. Presumably this will also be true for any cell phone I might get in the near future (surely an android phone will sync nicely with google). This may be changing, but in my experience, cell phones can be extremely persnickety about what sort of vcard format they'll accept. So its probably not worth worrying about direct syncing with my aging nokia (even though it is ostensibly a smart phone). Does your bbdb work tie in with any existing CouchDB efforts? (I think that there's some way to use Gnome's evolution in conjunction with CouchDB.) -- RSAreg; Conference 2012 Save #36;700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ___ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
